Meet the version of you who already did the work.
The Future Self Vision Board & Journaling Workbook walks you from honest reflection to a clear picture of who you are becoming, then to a plan you can start this week.
A pretty vision board is not a plan.
You can collect beautiful images, tape them to a board, and still wake up on Monday with no idea what to do first. Wishing is easy. Knowing where you stand, choosing what matters, and deciding what you will do when things get hard is the part most boards skip.
This workbook is the missing middle. You get honest first, then specific, then practical. The vision board comes last, once you know what it is supposed to remind you of.
Six parts. One clear path.
Parts 1 to 4 take about four hours in total. Do them in one or two sittings, or one page a day over ten days.
Reflect
Get honest about where you are now. No goals yet, no pressure.
Envision
Make your future self feel real enough to choose for.
Design
Turn one blurry dream into eight clear, specific visions.
Believe
Rewrite the beliefs that hold you back, and plan for what might get in your way.
Plan
Fewer goals, deeper commitment, a simple way to stay honest.
Create
Now the fun part, with clarity and a plan behind you.
Eight dedicated pages, one for each part of your life.
Each page has space for a 12-month vision, four words for how you want to feel, three goals with how you will know they are done, and one small step for this week. Several also include practical tools like a debt payoff map, a skill gap map, a self-care menu, and a trip savings calculator.
A peek inside
Print the review pages again and again.
A plan only works if you come back to it. These pages are designed to be reprinted every week and every month for the full 90 days.
Picturing, naming the obstacle, and planning your response.
Research on motivation, including Gabriele Oettingen’s WOOP method and Peter Gollwitzer’s if-then planning, suggests that picturing your future, naming what could get in the way, and planning your response works better than visualizing alone. Studies on future-self connection also suggest that the more real your future self feels, the easier it is to choose in their favor.
This workbook puts all three into practice, one page at a time.
How it works
Questions
What do I get?
A 38-page PDF workbook on US Letter paper. It is a digital product, so nothing is shipped.
Do I have to print it?
No. You can print it, or import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF annotator and write on it digitally. The pages with a photo box are meant for gluing or sticking images, so those are more fun on paper.
How long does it take?
Parts 1 to 4 take about four hours in total. Part 5 takes about an hour, then about ten minutes a week for the reviews. Part 6, the vision board, takes about an hour.
Can I reprint the review pages?
Yes. The weekly review, monthly reflection and 30-day habit tracker are made to be printed as many times as you need, for your own use.
Is this financial or mental health advice?
No. It is a personal reflection and planning tool. For decisions about your money, health or wellbeing, please consult a qualified professional.
Your future self is already waiting. Start this week.
Ninety days from now, you can open this workbook again and see what has already come true.
