Happy New Year!!
The first post of the month is up and I couldn’t be more psyched. I woke up to a very thoughtful DM from someone who said I inspired them and I should keep u what I am doing. I had a short-lived Aww moment because if I’m being honest with myself, I have been slacking a lot!!! I kept saying I was busy doing the bare minimum but in all honesty, I have been lazy and hopefully, I can get over this bit.
The best way I know how is by creating my annual Vision board. I have always had my vision board as far back as I can remember but they only got bigger and grander from about 2016 which is 7 years ago now, Phew, where does time fly? So if you have zero ideas on how to make a vision board, then allow me to introduce you to one of my most viral posts here on the blog HOW TO MAKE A VISION BOARD THAT WORKS. Now that you are caught up. I’ll take a moment to catch you on how important to place your vision.
Any of the goals I ever achieved were always in line with SMART planning, yeah I did put capslock in the middle of a sentence but that’s because I want to break it down so that it makes sense. If you make any vision board or list down any of your goals, be sure they are
This is a place where you can then further broaden your Priority answers from point 1 above. However, the key to How to Make a Vision Board that Works lies on the goals mentioned here. Whatever goals you list, make sure they are in line with the SMART system, which I sort of brushed through earlier. For more clarification, see the breakdown below.
- Specific Goals
– These are goals that answer the What, when, why, and who questions
- Measurable
– Each SMART goal has a starting point as well as a finishing point and they are indications of the quality of the effort to be made. Remember to benchmark your goals.
- Achievable
– This is where you have to rethink the out-of-the-world ideas. You want to be a millionaire, sounds like a plan but a more realistic goal would be going to school, or starting a business. – This then clears a path for your millionaire dream
- Realistic
– A realistic goal takes into account the practical situation and the work in which is involved. Do you want to lose 50 kg but never work out a day in your life and eat everything on-site? Does this look realistic Suzan?
- Time-Bound
Time-bound is often confused with measurable, but there is a clear difference between the two. Time-bound is actually about the time that is allocated to reach the goal.
