I made a Vision Board!?

A​s the year wraps up and 2022 officially looms upon us, I decided to do something I have never done before. I created a vision board.

N​ow to be honest, the main reason I did this was as part of a TikTok post, but I have to admit, I did enjoy making it and I can understand why so people swear by them. I had a lot of fun my goals and figuring out a way to put into photos my goals for the year. I keep an affirmation page with my goals and positive manifestations on my desk already, so I guess I was kind of halfway to a vision board anyway.

R​, it has been interesting and realizing how much my priorities have changed since leaving the toxic corporate environment. I am still learning the whole work-life balance concept, and I did pretty good with it this year. I of course want to make enough money to pay all my bills, but more than that, I want to spend more time with my significant other and our new fur babies. This means 2022 I need to continue to learn and strive for a true balance of work and play.

W​e got two puppies this month; a German Shepard and a Rottweiler/Lab/Shepard Mix. They are I am between wanting them to be and wanting them to stay little. The has already grown since we got him a weeks ago. The mix has not, but she is also 3 weeks younger than the I suspect her growth spurt is coming. She had her bottom teeth when we brought her home, but they have since grown in.

T​he make working from home interesting. On the one hand, it's great that I get to play with them when I am taking a break from the computer. They are so fun to play tug of war with. , a bit distracting when I have to jump out of camera on a zoom meeting to make sure they don't make a mess in the house. my team understands and is not annoyed by it.

I​t's an interesting balance, building a successful business and also focusing on relationships. In my admin position, I took Monday's off and that was basically it. As I have deals going on , Monday is not a great day to be disconnected. as my work is commission based and I value every clients time, work around their schedule, I can't say I have set time off. This aggravates my significant other slightly, but now that I am no longer paid a salary, I can take more time off which should help.

A​ll of this has been considered and consolidated into a vision board with three main goals for 2022:

1 Help at least 2 families a month realize their real estate dreams.

2 Gather and make more and better content for all media platforms

3 Spend more time disconnected from the web and connected with my family.

G​ 1 and 3 seem of counter-productive I know. The content part should be pretty easy. I have a timetable figured out to schedule when to post on what platform, and a hours in the week scheduled to gather the content. Somewhere in there I should schedule some sort of workout regimen, but that is not a priority right now. Though, if the pup's keep waking me up at 0530 it will be pretty easy to do some morning workouts.
