This book is the love child of many parents. Part aggregation, part art mag, it exists because I wanted to be a better planner. Turns out it’s helped others do the same all over the world.

The hope is for this to be something useful.

Something that is carried around, drawn in, dog-eared and coffee stained.

It is meant to be a resource out in the world, not one for behind a desk.

It is visually driven because so is what we do.

It is random because the best thoughts are often lateral.

It is incomplete because everything that might spark a thought cannot be collected in a book.  

The biggest thing I’m obligated to point out is source of the contents within– 90% of what is in this book is not mine. I stripped it of its context, paired it with imagery from the internet (or of my own creation) and tinkered with it till it felt like the right balance of thorough, useful, and different from what’s been done.

I’ve tried to add credit where due throughout, but as a result of this project’s origins, I simply can’t find the source for every single tidbit. If you do see something that is un-cited, or cited incorrectly, please reach out and I’ll aim to fix as soon as I can.

And most importantly, I want to say thank you to all that have contributed... Knowingly or not.
