This past weekend I made a vision board with my brother-in-law.
I was in a teamwork meeting class at work and we were learning about having a vision. A vision that basically everything that should be used for the business should be filtered through this vision.
I kind of took it like dream catcher in that only the good positive ideas/visions/dreams make it through the center while everything else gets stuck in the web. The vision is the hole in the dream catcher.
I feel like having a vision or broader goals than the tiny little daily goals will help me focus on and keep what is important to me clear and defined.
With so much technology and people, thing to do, tasks, and just the business of life I get bogged down and let this bigger important things slip away.
What these bigger and important things are, I am still trying to figure out. Hopefully this board will help.
I feel like I tend to focus just on my weekly or daily goals. I fear that I'll be stuck with my head down for a while and then one day wake and up and realize I have missed the road.
I want to not just talked with New Dude but I also want to really listen and hear him and be present with him. Not just him though, family, friends, soon to be family in laws, co workers and everyone in between.
To start this project we first found/read this article from Wiki How.
Then we went to Goodwill. They do have magazines for sale. We were really just there to look around but they had some magazines. Then I took some of the free magazines from the area that are available at Kroger's.
Then over the next few days I'd be sitting on the couch, going through the magazines/things and cutting out any picture, word, or groups or words.
When I felt the cat would tear up my pile of random clippings I sat down,trimmed up, and glued down all my pictures. I divided my board into two parts.One side is family/life and the other is more towards career.The dividing line was covered by some items that I'd like to touch both.

This now hangs in my bedroom.
I know that another option is though Pintrest. I wanted to play with scissors is the main reason I did mine with paper and glue.That and I feel that Pintrest is a rabbit hole that you just go down and don't really come back out any sooner than 2 hours later.
Has anyone else done a vision board? Do you have any tips for vision boards? Do you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Let me know your thoughts with a comment below. Thanks!
