You already know what you want. Holding onto it is the hard part.
Put the future you can sense into words you can return to.
Encode helps you write a full account of a future you want, then compresses it down to the few phrases that bring the whole thing back.
Why a vision is hard to keep
You decide something real about your life.
A week later you remember that you decided, but not what you meant.
So you write it down properly. Pages of it.
And never read it again, because who has twenty minutes at 7am.
Or you shrink it to an affirmation on a sticky note.
Short enough to read, too thin to mean anything.
A vision rarely fails because it was wrong. It fails because it was too long to carry and too short to matter. Encode keeps both ends: the full account in your words, and a handful of phrases that reach back to it.
What compression actually looks like
One person, one Vision, at two of the six levels.
Level 10 — an extract
I am someone who ships something and then improves it. For eleven years I have been the person who wins pitches, and I am done selling hours. I open the same codebase every morning instead of eleven different Slack workspaces. Two calls a week, both with clinic owners, not prospects. My sister has fought a spreadsheet for six years, and that is why the problem is real to me rather than researched.
Level 0 — the whole thing, in six
- Done selling hours
- Ship, then improve
- One codebase
- Clinic owners, not prospects
- Fight the spreadsheet
- Profitable, not impressive
Read the six on the right. If you had written the account on the left, they would bring it back. That is the only thing a cue has to do.
What you end up with

Each level is written from the one above it, and says which version it came from. Change the narrative and the levels below it are marked for review rather than quietly rewritten.
Start with whatever is actually on your mind. It does not need to be well formed.
