While vision boards are a pretty good way of goal-setting, they no longer need to be just a bunch of pictures pinned to a wall. The possibilities are endless
Ditch vision boards, becoming boards are in
An idea developed by Instagram creator @karinnordinphd, a becoming board is similar to a vision board, except the latter focuses on who you are going to be after completing your goals. A becoming board, on the other hand, makes you think about how your everyday life will look as you approach these goals

An idea by Instagram creator @ kaylenfaye_, the bingo card makes it easier to look at all the things you want to do in the year, and then work towards it accordingly. You can strike off the things from the card as and when you complete them
A vision board on the go

Even though this way is more on the spiritual side than on the DIY side, it does give you a clear goal to focus on. Shared by creator @elizaveta_ep on Instagram, this practice is linked to the German tradition called Rauhnacht. This tradition is practised during the 12 mystical nights, from December 25 to January 6
