For high achievers who are stuck in a rut
» Inspiration, motivation, and a heck ton of colourful whiteboard markers

hen youre stuck in a rut or a routine, inspiration can be hard to
come by. Paired with a lack of motivation and organization, living
like this can be completely debilitating. However, take heart! There are
ways to overcome these blocks, or there are even tiny things that you can
do to inspire and motivate yourself. To be honest, it all goes pretty much
step by step. Just the tiniest effort can start the domino effect. So, let’s
begin!
Inspiration
What else does anyone need? Inspiration is what makes us work for our
dreams, but what are we without it? Even worse, what are we without a
concise idea of what our dreams are?
To combat this first block, here’s one idea I have up my sleeve to
get you back on your feet. Vision boards may sound like a pointless
arts and crafts project, but they are definitely much more than that.
Whether you believe in manifestation or the law of attraction or not,
the constant visual representation of your dreams will have a powerful
effect regardless. Being reminded of what you're working towards can be
exactly the push you need on your bleakest days.
Making a vision board is really up to the individual, but to start, you
first can choose between a traditional or digital medium. Many people
like to cut out pictures, quotes, and anything else that they find inspires
them and represents a life they want to live. Vision boards are often
displayed in a collage style, but really, the layout is up to you.
I currently have a vision board with pictures of plant-strewn book
rooms, LED-lit music studios, nightlife scenes, quiet study areas, and
neon quotes reading “It’s only a crazy dream until you do it!” and “Screw
it, let’s do it!”
Possibly the best part of making a vision board is that the
inspiration you take from it will lead directly into our next step:
Organization
Anyone who wants to conquer their dreams needs at least a bit of a game plan. Try making a detailed
list of what your goals and dreams are exactly—including what they physically look like—and then
make an extensive list of what specific steps you can take to work towards this future. Bonus points if
you include the exact dates you want to hit certain milestones.
Next, make a list of what obstacles may get in the way of achieving these goals. Then, make an
extensive list of ways you can tackle these obstacles. It will go a long way.
For your day-to-day life, invest in a journal to write anything from gratitude to your grand
dreams and ideas. Also, keep a to-do list and a calendar. I like having a paper to-do list pad and a
whiteboard calendar with many different coloured markers. Having all your duties cleanly organized
and represented takes a huge weight off of your brain. Using some of these tactics in everyday life will
prove beneficial to anyone striving towards achieving big dreams, and even to those who don’ exactly
know what those dreams are yet.
6¢
Whether you believe in manifestation or the law of
attraction or not, the constant visual representation of
your dreams will have a powerful effect regardless.
Motivation
To be inspired is to be motivated. Not everyone
wants to live a hectic life going full throttle—and
that desire is just as valid. However, for those who
do: motivation is key. Making a vision board will
remind you of why you are doing the things you do
each day. If what you're doing each day doesn‘ align
with the representation of your dream future, then I
would suggest finding more ways to align your life in
achieving your goals.
It’s a lot harder to motivate yourself if you're
doing work that doesn’t have value to you or doesn't
align with what your heart truly desires. In this case,
remember who youre doing it for or the positives the
work still offers.
