2. How do I create a vision board for the year?

Begin by thinking about what you want to achieve in the next year, both personally and professionally. Collect magazines, print pictures from the internet, or draw your own.

The best time to make your vision board is when you are at the beginning of the year or a new chapter in your life. However, you can do it whenever you feel the urge for clarity or a reboot.

7. How do I keep my goals specific on a vision board?

Add interactive elements, such as sticky notes with specific goals or actions, which you can remove when completed. You can also update it as you achieve certain milestones or add new goals throughout the year.

Show it somewhere visible-on a wall, near your desk, or even on your fridge. It is important that you see it every day so that it remains a constant source of inspiration.

30. How do I let go of goals on my vision board that no longer resonate with me?

It’s perfectly fine to remove or update goals on your vision board. As your values and priorities change, so should your vision board. Don’t be afraid to let go of goals that no longer serve your current vision.
