Create a Momentum Calendar and Vision Board

“My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

—Oprah Winfrey

This chapter is about building a visual system to help you with time management and attracting your visions to you through visual clues. A momentum calendar will inspire you and remind you of what to do and when. A vision board is a collage of your goals that you design, which will re-inspire you and, some people believe, will draw to you what you are reaching for. Both tools will build your momentum and guide your intentions.

To do this, you select a series of pictures to represent your visions from meditation—pictures that represent your goals and milestones—and then create a collage. This vision board and calendar will move your momentum forward and help make your dreams reality. Time management has never been so much fun, creative, or so ultimately satisfying.

VISUAL TIME MANAGEMENT TOOLS

As we discussed in earlier chapters, goals and action steps require start dates and end dates. When fixing your mind on your creative goals, business goals, financial goals, and personal goals, your time management system becomes very important. How are you going to juggle all the demands on your time and mind? Break everything down into pieces and pictures. Pieces are manageable steps and pictures are representations of what you desire that inspire you to take those steps. Keep it visual, and keep it inspiring. Pick a picture that represents the start, pick a picture that represents the end, and place them both on your calendar.

An artist’s logic is vision driven. You are more logical than you think. You do things because they make sense to you and usually because you feel compelled to do them. We are not talking about binges or addictions here; we are talking about creating. The images you create, the products you produce, all make sense to you. Maybe not to your parents, or your children, or your partner, but to you they do. Only you know what matters to you and what you can see as your future. Only you can decide which pictures or photos will aid your momentum. Pick pictures that represent ideas that make you light up inside. Pick photos to represent the highest road for you and what your visions will look like in the world.

INSPIRE YOUR NEXT STEPS WITH A VISION BOARD

We each have an individual calling accompanied by visions and the necessity to lay out our next steps. The logic behind why certain pictures give you momentum while others don’t, and the reasons you choose to tell your career story with certain colors and patterns instead of others, will be driven by an inner reasoning that resonates with your own individuality. And this will help you to take the right steps.

The pictures or photos that you choose to represent your milestones and goals will build your momentum and allow you to manage your time and your goals.
