Visual Nudges: Hand-Drawn Mental Models for Life and Work

We are drowning in information, but starving for wisdom.

You read books, listen to the podcasts, highlight the best parts and take your notes. But two weeks later, the insights fade.

As a visual practitioner and facilitator, I know that our brains are not wired for walls of textual content. We are wired to process information visually.

In a noisy world, we don't need more information. We need better anchors to think. We need simple, visual reminders that cut through the noise and help us think clearly, make better decisions, and communicate with impact.

What solves it?

Meet Visual Nudges: A collection of bite-sized and minimal visual ideas created for quick grasp, easy recall and instant resonance.

I have curated and hand-drawn 68 high-impact Visual Nudges that will gently do what they are intended to do - nudge you to think, reflect, and act. These are mental models and insights on topics like Self-Leadership, Productivity, Growth Mindset, and Self-Improvement

How You Can Use These Visuals (The Value)

This is more than a book; it’s a content library.

1. For Daily Reflection: with self and with others
2. For Coaching: to help a client "see" the idea and get unstuck.
3. For Visual Nudges: printed and framed on desks or office walls
4. For Social Media: Share it, and add your own reflection.
5. For Presentations: Drop a visual into your slide deck to drive a point home without bullet points.

License & Copyright (The "Social Sharing" Rules)

I want these ideas to spread, so I have made the license Creator-Friendly:

• ✅ YES, You Can: Share these images "as-is" on your social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, X), use them in your newsletters, or include them in your coaching/training slides. If you share them on social media, tag me. I would love to be a part of the conversation.
• 🔒 THE CONDITION: You must keep the attribution (www.tanmayvora.com) visible or credit the source.
• ❌ NO, You Cannot: You cannot resell these images, share the entire deck, edit/alter them to remove the credit, or package them into a competing product.
