My friend made me sit through a whole hour of her planning a 'vision board' on Canva

She's been doing this for 3 months now and posts every single version. I asked her why not just use a physical corkboard and she said digital is "more flexible" because she can swap images out every week. I gotta admit, seeing her actually stick with it for this long makes me wonder if it's more than just a trend. But at the same time, how many times can you rearrange the same pictures of a beach house and a coffee cup before it gets old? Has anyone else seen these digital vision boards actually lead to real changes or is it just a new way to scroll past stuff?

But has she ever actually done anything from the board, or is it just endless tweaking of the layout? Like did she ever move closer to a beach or start a coffee blog after rearranging the pictures for the 15th time. I'm curious if the act of swapping images around every week is just another form of procrastination disguised as planning.

Wonder if shes really scared that once she actually does something she'll realize the dream was better than the reality. Like moving to a beach town sounds amazing but then you get there and theres sand everywhere and tourists and rent is insane. Maybe the board is just her way of keeping the fantasy alive without risking being disappointed.

Bet she's just avoiding the commitment of actually pinning anything down permanently.
