Creating a vision board

5 January 2023

I love the concept of vision boards, where you create a physical or digital collage that represents your hopes and dreams. I’ve made them in the past (and blogged about using the Comic Lite program to create them ). But it’s been a good long while since I created a vision board.

But that changed this year! My podcast co-host, Shannon Wilkinson and I did an episode of our podcast, Getting to Good Enough, about creating vision boards (and letting go of perfectionism around doing it perfectly). Here’s the episode, if you want to give it a listen: Episode 230: Creating a Vision Board.

Last month, we hopped on Zoom and created our vision boards together, which was really fun. It took only an hour, thanks to this terrific video that I found on YouTube about using Canvas and Pinterest to make it to create a vision board.

Here’s the video:

A couple of my photos in my vision board came from Pinterest, but others came from my computer or phone. I really let the process be easy (yay!) and I’m thrilled with the result.

My vision board is on display as the wallpaper for my laptop. In my setup, my laptop is hooked up to a larger monitor at my desk, so the laptop screen is unused. That means the wallpaper is on full display and I’m looking at my vision board many times a day. I also printed out a small version, pasted it in my Bullet Journal and annotated it with explanations of what each of the elements represents.

In case you’re curious, here’s the result, as displayed on my computer.
