Many of the doodles are like messages or visual reminders to myself. This is most clearly the case when text is a primary part of the picture. The boxes and arrows here often express the "planning" process in regards to future goals. I have a lot on my plate at the moment as to what I'd like to accomplish in the next 10 years, but what I don't have is a clear path of how to get there and what needs to be prioritized. The problem is that a mind full of ideas and not enough direction can easily fall into a muddle.
This particular sketch is a "de-muddlefier" (and yes, I'm pretty sure I just made up that word). It takes points, determines their relationship and areas of intersection, then puts a box around them to neatly compartMentalize that idea. This kind of cognitive inventory can be found all over my notebooks, however, it's the text that for that serves as a flashing reminder.
"Need to consider the moment to determine the future."
Sometimes I forget that while I'm staring out 10 years ahead and wondering how am I going to reach goals, the path I'm searching for is right under my feet.
The other text here, "will it happen?" for me is interpreted two ways. It relates back to the whole fatalism vs. personal will debate. Will it happen to me or can I will it to happen effectively?
In both readings, the key to mapping out the futures lies directly in recognizing where you are at the present moment.
