Every new year, most people make their resolutions and set their goals for the year. A survey conducted by Finder revealed that almost 50% of people make New Year’s resolutions. However, they also found that nearly 12% of those who make resolutions don’t believe they will achieve them. Making resolutions is only half the battle.
Sticking to your resolutions is usually the challenge and a few weeks or months down the line, most people lose focus on what they planned on achieving that year. Luckily, there are ways to make it easier to stick to your goals. One of the best ways is to create a vision board.
This is a collage of images that represent someone’s resolutions or goals. A vision board works pretty well since you can display it somewhere and remind yourself what you want to work towards. In the past, you had to make a physical one which took a lot of time. However, thanks to technology, there are a number of apps that are great for making vision boards. Here are some.
