A simple sketch is a good idea

Where do good ideas come from?

It was precisely a year ago, we decided to laser cut two additional lines into our EGSP Wooden Block®. And it was a game changer.

Here’s my bullet journal from 12 months ago. It shows our wooden block with the addition of two new parallel lines. With utmost clarity looking back. I remember when, where and why we added it.

And for 12 months, the EGSP Wooden Block® has become a far more effective teaching tool.
