5. Your computer or another device

⭐FREE – MY TOP PICK⭐- You can create a document or a presentation on your computer (save to the cloud for access anywhere) and then simply print the pages to stick around your office or your home!

Add images collected from the web, links, videos and text to the documents as you go. Arrange the content on the pages so that links are stored on a single page and this way you can print your vision boards without displaying long links on them.

Alternatively, you can create a folder on your computer or mobile device to store text files with links, screenshots, images, and videos that represent your goals. But this option is better for simply storing files associated with your goals rather than being a vision board.
