The first step to creating a clear vision of where you want to be is to get the details – in every part of your life, and there’s a simple method for doing that.

What I do is identify the key areas/aspects of my life – usually 5-8 categories. The areas I generally look at are social, physical, mental, spiritual, career, and material/financial. What you do is get one sheet of paper for each area/category. Then, taking one at a time, write down everything you want or want to be doing in one year. Don’t judge. Don’t worry that it’s too big or too small. Just write it down.
Once you’ve finished one sheet of paper, go to the next and the next until you’ve started them all. Some may be full sheets, some may only have a couple of things on them. Whatever works is fine.
After you’ve come up with everything you can think of at the time, put the sheets together and carry them with you for a day or so. I find that doing this exercise ’shakes up’ things in your brain and gets you thinking of other things, so it’s useful to have the sheets with you for the next day or so. Just jot down whatever comes to mind, whether it seems realistic or not.
In my next post I’ll show you a simple method for sorting through all these things you write down to move toward creating your personal vision.

Great process Ravi. I have my headings ready to inspire the listings.
I also find clipping magazine pictures and word phrases a great visual for imagining the kind of new year that inspires you. These picture boards keep me company in my office.
Maui was a great treat and wonderful family holiday. Blessings on your new year.

Hi, Elaine. Yes, pictures work really well also. I’ll be doing a post in a couple of days on how to translate this into a vision board using those picture that you’re speaking of.
Glad you had a great holiday season. I look forward to working with you this year again on the board.
