Things did not go exactly to plan.


After launching the podcast and immediately developing a brief but intense sense of delusion, I realised I’d slightly abandoned the entire premise of the show. Instead of calmly testing a saved bit of advice and reporting back, I panicked, went semi-guru, and tried to convince everyone (including my family) that vision boards absolutely, definitely work.


This episode is me correcting course.


I talk about:


  • my delusions of grandeur
  • why outcome-based vision boards can feel motivating and then quietly ruin your life
  • how “process pictures” are supposed to work in theory, and why they’re surprisingly hard when your goals involve screens, editing, or admin
  • and the growing realisation that naming a podcast without Googling it first may have been… optimistic


We also establish two recurring Field Notes features:


  • Fail of the Week (there were many)
  • Find of the Week: if your perfume doesn't smell great, leave it for 4 years then come back to it


If you like self-improvement in theory but struggle with it in real life, you’re in the right place.

On Monday, I’m testing another widely saved piece of internet advice to see whether it actually survives contact with real life.
