Question

Does a vision board help achieve what one wants, or what you want to come to pass?

Community Answer

You have to take action to make your desired outcome happen. However, using a vision board may increase your likelihood of success, because it is a method of inspiring yourself to keep going and chase after your dreams. Visualization is an important part of success.

Question

Can I make it in Microsoft PowerPoint?

Community Answer

Whatever medium you believe will be most effective is great. Vision boards are traditionally done on paper, but if PowerPoint feels right to you, go for it.

How do I make a vision board for medium-term goals?

Question

What if I have no goals?

Community Answer

Come up with some. Goals are the way we move forward in life with purpose. They don't have to be big or exciting goals, just some things you can work towards.

Is there an age requirement to make a vision board?

No, you can start a vision board at any age. It's a good idea to start focusing on your goals at a young age. If you're very young, get permission before using scissors.

Question

How long does it take to fully complete a vision board?

Community Answer

A vision board may never actually be done. Complete goals, work toward goals, and make new ones. If you're asking how long it will take to make the physical board, that depends on the person, but it shouldn't take longer than an hour or two.

Question

What materials do I need to make a vision board?

Community Answer

There are many different ways to make a vision board, but the most popular is by using a cork board (you can find it at an office products store). In addition to a cork board, you will also need a printer to print photos. You’ll also need art supplies (optional), glue, and tacks.

Do I have to print out a vision board, or can I view it on my computer?

Question

How do I make a vision board when I want to go to college?

Community Answer

You could collect images of the college you want to go to, their sports teams, pictures of the town the college is located, etc. If you don't have a specific college in mind, use images that inspire you to study and do well in school; perhaps pictures of people such as Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Neil deGrasse Tyson would be inspirational.
