As the final hours of 2024 crept up, I sat on my parents' hardwood floor with a giant whiteboard, a box of colorful markers, magazine cutouts and a Don Fulano Margarita. It's become a New Year's Eve tradition to make a vision board, my creative outlet to manifest what's to come, along with picking a color and a word to live by for the upcoming year.
If Michael Scott's 'vision board' from 'The Office' taught us anything, it's that scribbling, 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky - Michael Scott' on a whiteboard isn't exactly a strategy. It's iconic, sure, but not the kind of plan that keeps your goals moving forward. A GPT vision board tool is the answer. Imagine if, instead of hockey quotes and improv flyers, The Office's protagonist had a board that showed real milestones, next steps, and the bigger picture.
