The science behind vision boards

The effectiveness of vision boards has yet to be thoroughly researched, but similar studies are inconclusive.

• Studies showed that people who visualized a positive outcome were less likely to take concrete steps to meet their goals.
• Visualizing the work to achieve a goal (like training for a sport) was more likely to make the participants do the hard stuff as opposed to just picturing the end result.
• Some people see visualization as a way to get motivated and keep goals top of mind.
