As a digital marketer, I have to stay on top of all of the random holidays. Like May the fourth be with you, random acts of kindness, national pancake day. Of all of the many social media observed days, I totally missed National Vision Board Day. The thing is, I have been making vision boards since forever. I’ve kept stacks on stacks of magazines under my bed since I was a kid with that specific intent in mind. It’s just something I do. There’s a big difference between vision and reality though. I never used my vision board as a guideline for goals until 2015. That’s when my vision became more than just a pretty piece of poster board.
For my 2016 vision board, I sat down with a friend on the floor in my place and for an hour or two, we talked about our goals for the year ahead.
The board building process
Here are a few of the things I want to do for this year:
Physical – gain flexibility, improve my core strength.
Spiritual – commit to a daily devotional. I’m using this one and I really like it.
Educational – take a new class. I’m still narrowing in on what I’d like to go for.
Relational – make a greater effort to remain connected with family, friends and my network. More coffee dates, weekend lunches and FaceTime.
Financial – stick to a monthly budget. Period. I need to find a system that really works.
I’m using Trello and Evernote to track my goal progress. I look forward to sharing more about my goals here throughout the year. What are some of your resolutions?
