      YES. Someone said starting a career in middle age was pointless as you won't make as much money as if you had started earlier. My thought was I'll be middle age and older regardless so, why not do what I finally learned was my calling. Yes, I was 52 when I finished grad school.

    I also make “letters to my future self” and it’s basically me saying stuff that I appreciate in future me. For example “I’m so grateful that you worked hard for achieving ___. I feel so inspired by you that you worked so hard for this thing.” It puts you in the mindset that you are going to for sure achieve your goal and also give you the reassurance and praise you may feel like you need. I also write little summaries of what future me looks like, what goals I have achieved as my future self, keywords to describe future me

    This method has been changing my life, since I first implemented it as a part of my morning routine two months ago. I can not thank you enough for sharing this simple, yet powerful idea. So many profound and potentially impactful “notes to self” that I have written over the years have been wasted, simply due to the journal-like format I've written them in. Most of them I have never repeated, never reviewed... I have never given them the chance to truly sink in... Having my seeds of wisdom, gratitude, and optimism in a deck of index cards that I can go through within minutes as I am drinking the morning tea has changed that, with great results!

    This is genius. First, I was skeptic when you said about this, but when you showed how it looks, and that you have cards not only with goals, but with reminders, quotes etc., it spoke to me. Basically, it's deconstructed journal. And the fun part is that you can still add pretty pictures, magazine clip art or patterned paper to this. I'm gonna do this.

    This reminds me of the "Hipster PDA." Same idea - write stuff down on index cards, clip with binder clip, and carry it around as needed. But that was more about capturing ideas on the go, and productivity and to do lists, whereas this... I like this, because it's not just the stuff on your to-do list that you need to think about every day: You gotta remind yourself why you're doing it all in the first place.

    Some reflection questions that might be nice to include:

    - What did I learn from that?
    - What are you grateful for?
    - What do you love about yourself?
    - How are you in service to others?
    If you read through your cards in the morning it may be most useful to reflect on the day before.
    Another possible helpful idea for all the things you want to manifest: write somewhere a chart with two sides. On the first side you write what actions you will take to achieve your manifestations, on the second side you will write the job of the universe/God, i.e. to bring you opportunities etc. This way it will be easier to let go of your manifestations so that you're not obsessing over them.

    A note about your "Truth" section: This has a basis in psychology! Those parts of you that you like and are important to yourself are called domains (if you've ever seen Inside Out, it's kind of like the mind islands), and reminding yourself about those can help you recover from setbacks and criticism and protects our overall positive self-concept, but research has also showed it can help us be more accepting of strangers and work harder and be less upset when others make stereotyping judgements against us. It's really cool!

    Started using index cards instead of notes written in random on every paper to organize at least by topic. Using for system put me in mind for the early books on organizing your house and making the habits to keep it clean. Using it for goal process is eminently satisfying and a way to cut up the time to avoid procrastination and solve boredom. Will add this to daily regimen and affirmations are good additions.

    I can attest to this method! I've been writing affirmations on flashcard on and off for a few years when I get in a bad spot. It works like a charm. When I'm able to clear about what I want and how I want to feel, it comes easier to me. Going through the flashcards gets me really hyped up too because you can feel the excitement in your mind build. I love a good vision board or plan written out but going through the process of doing the flashcards forces you to focus you mind keenly on what you want. Thanks for the reminder Lefie!

This video popped up at exactly the right time! I LOVE this method you present. I like the privacy, mobility, and mutability. I will still make my vision board for the fridge, but for short term goals, reminders, etc. More of a planner for the next month or season. Definitely going to enjoy developing the cards.

Your index card system makes so much sense. I can keep them in my bag where they are easy to grab and look at everyday but no one else will have access to them.

    For years I've done the same: I write my goals for the year at the beginning of my journal. If it's something I want to do once (like getting a tattoo) I just tick when done. If it's a habit or similar (like donating every month), when I do it I write the first letter of the month next to the goal when I do it, and only tick in December.
    It's simple, it only takes up one page and I have it always with me ❤️
    Oh, by the end of each year I cut that sheet of paper and put it with the others from previous years. I like to see what I've managed to accomplish every now and then 😊

    Anyway, they work really well. I keep one on top as the "tip of the day" - today it's "Fruit is your Friend" - and put a 3 in the corner to remind me to look at them three times a day. I've added stickers to some, drew sigils and designs on others, and am generally having a great time creating my deck. I even have one reminding me to listen to my favorite song. It's amazing how much of a rut I can get into without realizing it - and how much I forget. But three times a day I can refresh and reset and give myself a boost of encouragement. And listen to Learn to Fly on full volume. Thanks again! :)

Everything goes on my index cards. I had not thought of it as a portable vision board. (GENIUS). I think I’ll start adding pictures. And they are perfect for grocery lists and weekly menus. And you can take out one and put it on the bathroom mirror for added motivation. I journal a lot. So I’m going to go back to my journals and make some cards. Love this idea. I loved the way you presented. Hope you get that house soon!!!
