Vision boards are a great tool for visual learners to really see their goals – but there are other methods to get your goals front and center too.

Hello Friends~

Today I wanted to talk a little about vision boards; and more broadly, about how differently we all learn, think, and set goals. It’s something that’s been on my mind lately after a great conversation with some friends at lunch. It’s honestly fascinating how unique everyone’s process is when it comes to learning and staying motivated.

For example, one of my friends is a highly visual learner. She absolutely loves vision boards, creating them helps her stay inspired and focused because each image connects to a bigger story or feeling. She can see her goals clearly in her mind, and that vision keeps her moving forward towards it.

Me? I’m a little different.

My brain doesn’t connect it to a “lifestyle” or dream space. I tend to think in steps and lists: if the goal is X, then I figure out steps 1, 2, and 3 to get there. I like to break big ideas into actions or stats and track progress that way.

Learning types and goal setting are similar

I’ve always been more of an auditory learner. If I hear it, I get it. And I do mean, I have to hear it and actually have heard it. It’s why I can’t journal or write and listen to talking videos.

But teaching others can be tricky for me, because I explain things the way I understand them. When someone processes information differently, I have to remind myself it’s not a “wrong” way; just a different path to the same result. Now that I know I have ADHD, this makes more sense.

But in my early college years, it was really hard and frustrating. Communication is hard and a constant struggle even between me and my partner. We just think different.

That’s why I love reminding people that goal setting isn’t one-size-fits-all. You might love writing things down like I do, or maybe visual boards, voice notes, or daily reflection work better for you. The key is figuring out your way.

It can be tough watching someone you care about approach things differently, especially when you know your method works for you. But letting people find their own rhythm is part of having friends and it often teaches us new things as well.

So, if you’ve ever felt frustrated that your planning system or morning routine doesn’t look like someone else’s; take a breath.

It’s okay.

Your brain, your pace, and your process are valid. The goal is to keep exploring until you find what truly clicks for you. You might only be seeing their highlights reel – like on social media. Not all the points and things they tried to get there.

It’s the usual don’t compare your chapter 3 to someone’s chapter 20.

Download my Vision Board Page

I think this version is very handy, it has a grid for easy lining things up – and then some text space on bottom if you want to write notes or add to each vision. I usually include 2 pages in my planners, one for left and one for right, so you can see the full thing in one spread.

Happy Planning,
