[00:00:12] Today I'm sharing a quick creative tip to build a vision board in under five minutes. Yes, really. Vision boards are a fantastic way to clarify your goals and bring a little more purpose to your day.

[00:01:00] And the good news is you don't need hours to create one. So let's dive in to how you can whip up a vision board that sparks inspiration whenever you need it. 

Choosing Your Focus

[00:01:09] Your first step is you're going to choose what you want to focus on. This could be your career, your health, your family, or a big goal like buying a house or launching a business.

[00:01:20] Focusing on one area keeps the board simple and lets you zero in on the images and words that really speak to your goal. If you're working with a limited time, it helps you narrow your focus. A specific theme also keeps you clear on what you want.

[00:01:39] So here's where it gets really easy. 

Gathering Visuals Quickly

[00:01:41] You're going to grab visuals that represent your goal without overthinking it. You can find these images and words by quickly flipping through a magazine, scrolling Pinterest, or even grabbing photos from your camera roll that make you feel connected to your goal. Keep it simple, keep it super quick, stick to five to seven images. This way you're creating a clear picture without spending too much time deciding.

[00:02:08] If you're using digital tools, take screenshots of your images that resonate with you. Or if you prefer physical boards, cut out some quick pictures or words that inspire you. 

Arranging Your Vision Board

[00:02:19] Your next step is you are going to arrange these images. For a physical board, grab some tape or a glue stick and place those images on a small piece of paper or even in a notebook.

[00:02:32] For a digital version, you can throw these images together in a photo collage app like Canva, The arrangement doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to feel right to you. Don't overthink it. 

Placing and Using Your Vision Board

[00:02:45] Once it's done, put it somewhere where you will see it every day. If it's digital, you can make it your phone wallpaper or save it to an album that you check often.

[00:02:55] If it's physical, stick it to your desk, mirror, or wherever you'll spot it frequently. The beauty of a 5 minute vision board is its simplicity.

[00:03:05] You're not overloading your mind with too many images or goals. Instead, you're focusing on what truly matters right now. This clarity is powerful. And because it is quick and easy, you're more likely to revisit it and keep it fresh. When you see these images daily, they serve as visual reminders of what you're working toward.

[00:03:25] Keeping your goals top of mind. Remember, it's not about perfection. It's about inspiration and alignment with what you want to bring into your life. I hope this gives you a quick idea of how to make this vision board in less than five minutes.
