Is Pinterest or FutureSelf better for a vision board?
Pinterest is a free inspiration board: you collect other people's photos of the life you want. FutureSelf draws 8 photoreal scenes of you in that life from one selfie, first scene free. Pinterest is better for finding ideas; FutureSelf is better if you want your own face in the board.
Inspiration or your own scenes
Pinterest is the best free place to find what you want. FutureSelf is where you see yourself in it. Many people use Pinterest to decide on the look, then describe it to FutureSelf.
Why Pinterest isn't enough
The comparison trap
Pinterest is full of other people's best-lit moments, which can leave you comparing rather than planning.
Close enough is not yours
You settle for the nearest match: a nice kitchen with the wrong floor, a stranger in your dream city.
Specific beats generic
With FutureSelf you describe the details you want, the city, the season, the room, and the scene is drawn with your face in it. On Pinterest you pick from what other people already photographed.
One selfie. 8 photoreal scenes of you on one board.
Use both
Pinterest is a good place to settle on a look. Describe it in FutureSelf and the board shows you in it.
One selfie. 8 photoreal scenes of you on one board.
