A Vision Board in 20 Minutes (Free Template Inside)
|
Dear Reader, In January I bought a vision board kit. You probably know the kind — pretty cardstock, stickers, the whole thing. I was genuinely excited about it. Then it sat on my desk for weeks. Life got busy, the timing never felt right, and somehow a fun creative project started to feel like another thing on my list. So the kit is still waiting for its moment. But I'm okay with that. So instead I made a mini vision board. No kit required, no big afternoon project. Just a simple digital board where I dropped in a few images and colors that represent what I want this spring season to feel like. Mine has a little color palette, images around healthy eating, getting outside to exercise, and reading more. Just a quiet visual reminder of what I'm moving toward. It took maybe 20 minutes and I loved it! Sometimes a mini version really is better. I enjoyed this project so much that I wanted to create a way for you to do your own – I designed a template inside Google Slides. No design skills or Canva account needed. Just open it up, drop in your images and colors and you have your own mini vision board ready to go. → Grab the free mini vision board template here If you're unsure what to put on yours, my post on simplifying goals is a good place to start. It takes the overwhelm out of goal setting and helps you get clear on what actually matters. → Read how to simplify goals here Happy Creating! Macie |

Dear Reader, My older two kids are officially out of school for the summer. My daughter has one more week to go. And yes, it has thrown a total wrench in my days! My Uber driving has gone up significantly and gone are my quiet mornings of work and focus. But summer doesn't have to mean total chaos... You can still keep a handle on how your home runs, even with kids at home, college kids back, a busier travel schedule or just a completely different summer rhythm than the rest of the year. The...
Hi Reader, Even in a fairly clutter-free house, one space always seems to collect everything. For my family, it's the kitchen. You name it, it ends up here: backpacks, dance shoes, charging cords, mail, dishes (oh my gosh the dishes!!). Throughout the day my kitchen counter and table are completely covered in stuff. For my sanity and just to simply find things, I must reset it daily. Thankfully this doesn't take long and honestly the biggest satisfaction comes from the wipe down of the...
Hi Reader, A few weeks ago I asked what your biggest home challenge was and so many of you wrote back. Closets, tiny kitchens, pantries, downsizing — thank you for sharing. You reminded me that we're all navigating the same stuff, and I greatly appreciate the feedback! Speaking of stuff… I popped into Target last week for a few items and walked straight into their summer display: beach towels, sunscreen, colorful coolers. All of it well merchandised and very tempting. I stopped. I looked. I...
