Buz,
Thanks for the tip. I am always trying to find new ways to keep my goals in front of me; a way to keep them fresh. A routine review of index cards is very practical and easy to execute. Simplicity is genius!

Thanks for all of the comments. I would imagine that any figure on the card would work…whatever you like. I use stick figures because they are quick and easy. My intent is to look at my cards at least twice a day. Currently I have 8 cards, but I will be making more.

I really liked this post! I am on a health and fitness kick and I am making changes that will become my new lifestyle. I have lost 17 lbs this month and I am excited to keep up the great progress.

I like the index card idea very much and I will use it. I am curious about the stick figures. I know they are easier to draw but I am thinking to maybe use a glue stick with the index cards and cutting an ideal body shape out of a magazine. I could even attach my head and then put a caption? What do you think? Is that okay… or there is more to the stick figure then I imagine?

Thanks for this great post!

Wow Buzz!
Congrats on losing 30 lbs. The idea of index cards to me so much more logical would fit me better than a big vision board that is not concrete to me.

Good luck now and in the future with your goals!

Thanks Buzz,

I need this more than you know. I’ve seen all the tricks of the trade…. why not get down to basics and simplicity?

I love it!

On my grocery list: index cards, healthy foods!

Hi Buz,

What a great post…and very timely for me!

I’m also embarking on a weight transformation program, and I’m doing it the old fashioned way by changing my eating habits and exercising on a regular basis.

I will definitely borrow your index card idea. As a matter of fact, I stop writing and just finished drawing my stick figure and setting the caption. And, I’ll carry it with me right next to my ever-present goal card.

It’s funny, there’s something “different” about having a picture on the card instead of just the written goal. I made sure to put a big happy face on my stick figure, and it really feels good looking at it. It seems to energize me.

Congratulations on your success with your program, and I’ll let you know how mine turns out.

Thanks again for the tip!

Weldon

Wow! Buzz! Sounds like Amanda Goldston’s Ideal Day Fun Card , too. I have not done that in a long time, and yes, I am going to make a set of cards right away! do you look at your cards every day?? several times a day? how many cards do you have?
I love simple techniques for life improvements! This one sounds great. Will you tell us more?
