EL,

Glad I’m not the only one that sends those things straight to the trash 🙂

It can help people stay accountable for any actions not in line with goals. A trick that helps me stay credit card debt free is to never open up the debt offers that arrive in the mail. I just rip them up and throw the paper out.

Yeah – I switched my wallpaper to a tropical beach to remind me of retiring early 🙂 Great tip!

Agreed, Natalie. I remember reading “The Power of Positive Thinking” in college, which really struck home the idea of visualizing your goals and ambitions. Now it’s nice to see hard scientific evidence backing up the power of visualization.

That’s really smart, Michelle. Not only does it keep you motivated, it keeps you accountable too.

That’s a great strategy, Edwin! I have done the same thing with pictures of the place I wanted to vacation.

Natalie,

I agree with you completely! I find that visualization of my long term goals is the single most important thing I can do to keep me on the right track to hit them.

This helps me when I’m tempted to spend money that should go toward paying off my student loan debt.
