This is the first part of a two-part mini-series where I introduce The Futures Wheel and later in part 2 the Sun Ray Transformation Map. Part 1 explores the web of primary, secondary, and tertiary impacts that stem from the decision to quit a nine-to-five job. Using Excalidraw in Obsidian, we dive into the possible emotional, financial, and social consequences that could unfold months and years down the line. I guide you through the process of creating your own Futures Wheel, showing how this tool can be both insightful and sobering as we explore the possible reality of such a life-changing choice. Join me as I map out the potential challenges and opportunities of taking such a leap, and how it might reshape personal and professional identity, lifestyle, and relationships.

This is insane omg thankyou
Oh, man! Diagramming is such an important tool for thinking. Love this!
What a great way for structuring the thoughts. Thank you for your time and effort!
Wow, Zsolt. Great Inspiration. Thanks.
Dude ,where you been my whole life haha love your work, teachings and vibe man , ,thankyou for being you
Thank you Zsolt.
Cara, isso é puro ouro, tá?! Isso aqui mudou minha vida a partir de agora!
This is awesome. I'm currently in the first-order effects, and this is quite accurate :)
I hope that the second order and tertiary impacts work out well for you!
@@VisualPKM Thank you :)
Very very good content
This form of diagramming where hovering over one element shows you another diagram related to that or other notes. And using them to constantly grow on these visual connections is absolutely mind-blowing. This is so cool and powerful. Can you even do something like this in any other tool?
I don't think so. And this hovering is just the tip of the iceberg. Nesting and reuse of illustrations gives you a whole other dimension of navigating your visual notes (ruclips.net/video/6rKjWJKTZak/видео.html). I've spent the past 20 years searching for such a tool. I've given up and built it for myself.
@@VisualPKM This is great. Leveraging Obsidian's linking capability with visual notes feels like superpower
To Infinity and Beyond!
hi zsolt, sorry for the off topic comment, first of all thnx for your work! it's helping me a lot with university. second: i would like to know if it will be possible in future to get new drawings located automatically in the current folder instead of a predetermined one?
i would have never expected "quitting the 9-5" to be something i find as a topic of your videos 🤣 but i appreciate the long-term and holistic thinking approach to help people be more thorough with this decision, i already made the leap but still think it would be handy to clarify the 2nd and 3rd tiers myself on a more personal level. been binging your visual pkm videos and have recently set it up for my publish, thank you for all your efforts !
Yes... I wanted to avoid controversial topics as the example for the Futures Wheel. Quitting my job seemed like a safe bet, also one that people can easily relate to.
I think the Futures Wheel is such a neat thinking tool for considering consequences of various scenarios. The staged thinking (ring by ring) helps you keep focused and plot out the trajectories of various impacts and consequences.
@@VisualPKM what were the controversial alternatives :o and i couldn't tell from the video if this was a personal application since you said "my job"?
but yes i agree, although you could have technically facilitated this multi-layer thinking with traditional linear text and prompts, the ability to retain the nth-layer of the effect and have those many-to-one connections would not have been as simple with simple text. it seems like i will have to look into the other diagram thinking techniques you use aside from this + double bubble 😅
Thank you for the video! Now I am wondering if I could use this approach not just to try and assess a decision, but generally to try and improve the quality of my thinking overall
Directing your attention this way is somewhat similar to thinking techniques promoted by Edward De Bono eg. in his PMI technique. Here you direct your attention first only to the initial scenario, then only to primary impacts, etc... I agree following such deliberate approach can improve overall quality of thought.
@@VisualPKM I completely forgot about him, thanks for a great direction there! I can't wait to see the series continued. I tried recreating it, and it took me 3 hours because I struggled so much thinking only about one level, so these definitely make a great exercise😆
Hi, love everything you do btw! your videos have helped me a lot. Ive been using excalidraw through obsidian and haave some pretty in depth mind maps.
Im having a major problem though. Some of my most important drawings are becoming corrupted in a way. It keeps happening at random and started a couple days ago. This is the message im getting, then the document becomes stuck in .md :
'Error loading drawing:
Unexpected end of JSON input
Try manually fixing the file or restoring an earlier version from sync history.'
Ive tried inspecting the json (although i dont really know much of what im looking at) and dont see any visible errors. I dont know why this happened, nothing specific triggered this that i know of. It happened to my most valuable drawing today even though i havent edited that drawing in days.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
Can you share a few corrupted dressings in GitHub? Have you installed or updated other plugins. Pretty much in every case when this is a problem the culprit turns out to be another plugin that automatically modifies files in the background
Zsolt, is there a way to connect items from the Database Folder to Excalidraw?
What do you want to connect?
@@VisualPKM I have an extensive inventory of apparel for which I would like to maintain a record of location as well as graphical representation, and keep a visual history of successful outfits. Today I saw one of your videos regarding Frames, and wondered if this might be used to effect a workable solution. I realize that this is outside your usual realm of interest, but I was electrified by the possibility of seeing my project come to life before my eyes. Perhaps it might be possible to embed database queries, or use obsidian plugins together, and have it all displayed on an infinite canvas! I
