A vision board is a visual representation of your goals, dreams, and aspirations. It is created by collecting images, words, and phrases that align with what you want to achieve. Although the act of creating vision boards may seem like a solely spiritual practice, it is a practical tool for setting and achieving your goals. As you start off the year, create a vision board page and position it in your PLOTTER leather binder where you can reference it easily. It will be a great tool to invigorate your creative projects and every day.
At its core, creating a vision board is a way to visualize your goals and dreams. It is a way to creatively envision your goals by collecting photos, images, and words that resonate with what you want to achieve. This can be done through analog ways, by collaging print media, photos, and collected ephemera, or through digital means, by curating your desired images and phrases digitally through photo editing software. The purpose of the vision board is to provide a striking and clear visual reminder of your goals and to help you stay focused and motivated.
You can incorporate a vision board into your goal planning and productivity system in the following ways:
- Visualize Your Goals: Use the vision board to visualize your goals by including images that represent your desired outcomes. This will help you create a clear mental picture of what you want to achieve.
- Set Clear Intentions: By selecting specific images and words that reflect your goals, you can set clear intentions for what you want to accomplish in 2024. This will keep you focused and motivated.
- Stay Inspired: Place your vision board in a visible location where you can see it daily. You can place your vision board as the first page in your PLOTTER leather Binder to serve as a dashboard that you will see daily.
- Goal-Setting is a Part of Vision Boarding: Use your vision board as a reference point to identify the necessary action steps to achieve your goals. Your vision board ideally relates to the goals you have outlined in the year. If you have created S.M.A.R.T. goals for the following year (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound), you can easily break down your goals into smaller tasks and incorporate them into your daily and weekly productivity system.
- Update as You Go: As you progress towards your goals, update your vision board accordingly. Your vision board can be a living document that can be updated to fit and meet your goals. You can always add new images or remove ones that no longer align with your aspirations for the year. Updating your vision board will help you track your progress and keep your vision aligned with your goals!
Incorporating a vision board into your new year goal planning and productivity system allows you to visually reinforce your goals, maintain focus, and stay motivated to achieve your aspirations throughout the year. It serves as a powerful tool to align your actions with your aspirations and breathe life into your vision.
By keeping your vision board easily accessible in your PLOTTER, you empower yourself to continuously fuel your motivation and remain reminded of your boundless potential for the year ahead.
