I have a deep conviction:
The quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of your thinking every day.
We take notes because we want to understand.
We learn because we want to internalize.
We create because we want new ideas.
But underneath all of that sits something even more important:
We want to make better decisions.
That is what Sketch Your Life is about.
What This Is
Sketch Your Life is an ongoing membership focused on:
- Mental models
- Visual frameworks
- Visual storytelling
- Design thinking
- Generative thinking
- Better decisions for work and life
This is the place where we explore practical thinking tools you can carry with you every day.
Not just for note-taking.
Not just for creativity.
For life.
How It Fits
Each part of Sketch Your Mind serves a different purpose:
- Excalidraw Mastery focuses on the tool
- Visual Thinking Workshop focuses on the workflow
- Sketch Your Life focuses on the thinking tools themselves
This means:
You can use these models inside Obsidian.
Inside Excalidraw.
Inside your PKM system.
Or with nothing more than paper and pencil.
The point is not the software.
The point is better thinking.
What Makes Sketch Your Life Different
Completely Tool Agnostic
You do not need to be an Excalidraw or Obsidian user.
Use:
- Paper and pencil
- A whiteboard
- PowerPoint
- Excalidraw
- Any digital canvas
These frameworks work wherever you think.
One Powerful Tool Each Month
Each month we will focus on one model, one framework, or one thinking tool.
Examples include tools inspired by:
- Edward de Bono’s lateral thinking
- Mental model thinking
- Visual frameworks
- Design thinking
- Decision-making systems
We will learn it, test it, adapt it, and apply it.
Live Sessions + Practice
We are a global community.
Sessions will be scheduled to be friendly to multiple time zones, and recordings will be added to the library.
Each month includes:
- Live teaching
- Shared practice
- Feedback
- Discussion
- Templates and examples
A Growing Library
Over the past 15 years I have collected and developed roughly 200 thinking tools.
Every month we add another one to a permanent member library.
Over time this becomes a serious toolkit for navigating life and work with more clarity.
Who This Is For
- Professionals making complex decisions
- Creatives wanting fresh ideas
- PKM users wanting better thinking inputs
- People who feel stuck in linear bullet-point thinking
- Anyone who wants to think more clearly
Final Thought
Most people try to improve life by changing circumstances.
Often the higher leverage move is to improve the quality of thinking that shapes those circumstances.
That is the purpose of Sketch Your Life.
