24 Surprisingly Simple Ideas to Improve Your Thinking

8 — “Earn with your mind, not your time.”

Every day we look for ways to simplify our life. At least, I know I do.

A couple of months ago, I stumbled upon a genius soul. His visuals hit me like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. During that moment, it helped me reduce the anxiety of feeling not where I want to be. In other moments, it helps me to think better and tackle the challenge in front of me with a clear mind.

Jack calls it a mental health service. He combines ideas on productivity, mindset, marketing, philosophy, and technology into simple, yet stunning designs.

According to himself, he’s pioneering visual engineering — such a interesting view

To help you simplify your thinking and become a better problem solver, I’ve picked 24 of his recent creations divided by topic.
