案
Mnemonic
To draft a brilliant plan, first relax beneath a tall tree. Let the dappled shade quiet your racing thoughts. As you relax, ideas drop like ripe fruit from the tree above—each one a piece of your plan clicking perfectly into place on the grass around you.
Additional thoughts
Picture yourself leaning against the trunk, eyes half-closed, a notebook on your lap. The calm (relax) plus the natural setting (tree) together produce the plan. 安 on top of 木.Quick recall
Relax under a tree and let a perfect plan fall into your lap like fruit.Details
