Vision Boards Are Out, Bingo Cards Are In: A New, Fun Way to Achieve Your Dreams

At the end of the year, most folks go through a heavy self-reflection, taking inventory of their favorite memories, accomplishments, and goals they need to revisit in the New Year.

I created vision boards for years to help set the tone for the upcoming year. I found it helpful to visualize where I wanted to be in 365 days, but the journey to attaining those goals moved like the thickest molasses. By the end of the year, I would feel discouraged because I didn’t accomplish half of the things on my vision board, carrying them over another 365 days.

As an overachiever, not checking off parts of the vision board didn’t sit right with me, so I reconsidered making them. Was I growing out of vision boards? Or were my goals so extravagant that achieving them required more than a year? Either way, I went into 2024 with a small list of approximately 10 milestones I wanted to execute. And to my surprise, I knocked off about 95% of my goals by focusing on a few things rather than the goals that required more time.

A few weeks ago, while scrolling on TikTok, I found a creator who made a 2025 Bingo card to document her upcoming goals. That was the plot twist I needed. A bingo card allowed me to place 25 goals on a card; all I had to do was achieve five to get bingo. And if I got five more, then I’d feed my ambition. It also took much of the pressure off of constantly doing instead of being present and allowing some things to flow naturally.

I’m excited to use my 2025 bingo card, and I already have a box to check off in January. What do you think? Will you be trading in your vision board for a bingo card?
