Colouring pencils and planning

FullSizeRender (10)

I love technology and I use a whole variety of different apps to organise my daily life.

However, if you really want to visualise your plans or a project, then there is no substitute for scribbling on a good old fashioned big sheet of paper with some coloured pens and pencils.

Doesn’t matter how you do it, the simple step of putting pencil to paper and drawing it out is a very powerful way of feeling, visualising and creating a plan for something.

No app can create that feeling and there is a huge pleasure in doing something different and creative.

You may well then create all the necessary steps on cards in Trello or a simple list on Workflowy or whatever your favourite app is.

Always start with something you physically draw or write out, it’s a way of expressing your passion for creating your dreams that will make a big difference to the outcome.

Building something

If you want to build something, something that will last, something sustainable, meaningful, purposeful and soulfull, then there are two things to consider.

One, build it on values, a common cause and something that inspires purpose and connection.

Two, be patient and allow time for the community to bond together and share.

Successful enitities need communities of loyal advocates to connect with each other and to share their experiences of whatever you have started to build. They will help build a following for your cause.

Great works take time to create and time to be appreciated. You need a cause and a loyal following.

Don’t sacrifice what your dream really stands for in order to get short-term trinkets.
