Using OneNote for your vision board

Gbenga Agboola

As 2021 was rounding off, I was preparing to set my 2022 goals. However, in the hope of getting a better and incredible result with my very bogus goals for 2022, I know and acknowledge my need for more power and a better goal instrument to be able to pull this one-off. No room for failure. So, I decided to make the option of failure pretty less by taking my newly found means of achieving my goals a notched higher.

Firstly, I need my goals to have their own power to connect to the universal and gather power to manifest. And one of the potent tools I have discovered and used in the last two years is drawing my goals ha-ha. Are you surprised? I have learned about the vision board a long time ago but all the recommended methods were not easy for me to use. A vision board is simply your goals in pictures or graphics, this is met to create a powerful magnetic attraction that will tap into the power of the universe to ensure that with a little effort from you, your goals are easily achieved.  

Many methods had been brought forward on how to create a vision board. One famous method is to visualize your goals using your mental power, another is to create a scrapbook with cuttings from newspapers or magazines. A scrapbook according to Oxford Languages Dictionary is “a book of blank pages for sticking cuttings, drawings, or pictures in.” In addition, a board can also be used to create a vision board, where the cuttings are stick.

In 2019, without paying much attention I made my goals for that year by drawing though poorly. Guess what by the end of that year my poorly drawn goals manifested surprisingly. My surprise emanated from the fact that those goals were enormously big and out of my present level, but hopefully, I had hoped that is why they ended up as goals for the year. Since that year it has become a norm to write my goals and create visuals for them.

 

So, as 2022 approached, I set another badass audacious goals I was determined to get all the support I can get from the universe by having SMARTER, vivid and clear goals. The power of achieving goals come from writing your goals SMARTER, having unresolvable determinations and creating good visuals. Those three things work wonders for me in December of 2021 when I needed to move to a new house with my family (that is a story for another day). I need to create good visuals for my 2022, I have realized and decided that if poorly drawn goals’ visuals can provide great results then a better drawn visual will create wonders, thus I went ahead to set audacious goals for 2022 and set out to locate a fantastic program I can use to create the visuals.

My Goals created with OneNote

Since I am a graphic designer I tried creating visuals in CorelDraw and photoshop (graphic design applications), I even tried Microsoft Word (a word processing application). None of the created visuals put my mind at rest. I remember that in 2012, I used a mind-charting programme called Freemind. I have great hope in Freemind, but unfortunately, the program was last updated in 2014. With me using Windows 10 in 2021, I cannot trust that program with my goals. Thus, my search continues as I was getting close to desperation I remember OneNote. I have also used that program sometime in the past.

“Microsoft OneNote is a note-taking program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. It gathers users' notes, drawings, screen clippings, and audio commentaries. Notes can be shared with other OneNote users over the Internet or a network.” Wikipedia.

So I remember that OneNote will allow me to be organized if I want to, it will also allow me to work randomly unorganized and that is what I want with my goals’ visuals. Unrestricted creativity. And that is how I was able to create my 2022 goal’s visuals using Microsoft OneNote. You also should try it.
