Plans VS Illustrations

Future you from logic, VS from feelings

As an architect – I know how to plan, and create crystal-clear plans.

Plans are great!

AND – when we wanted a client to _really_ understand and want what we’d drawn – we’d make an illustration or a rendering.

When you think about your future – are you making plans, or making illustrations?

(You totally want both…)

Same building corner, illustrated.

How much better can you imagine yourself there? Can you WANT yourself there?

Even the very blurriest illustration can give a sense of reality, of “I could go there!”, that even the most precise plan can’t.

The secret sauce is:

Emotions are our illustrations of our future plans. How it will FEEL is what draws us in and motivates us.

I’ve a quick quiz to help you think about the broad blocks of emotions you’d like in your future – come dive in!
