Visual tools such as vision boards (their most common name) and collages have been around for a long time. Maybe you've made a few yourself. Some people find them helpful reminders of where they're going, which nudges them into doing what needs to be done in order to get there.
If you're a serial goal-setter or like to juggle a lot of balls at once, you might try using a corkboard and pushpins as a base for temporary idea "collages." I've done this for various short-term things such as planning trips and putting together events. After you've finished the project you can dismantle the collage itself and use the board for your next big gig.
For several years I also created temporary corkboard collages depicting ideas for the upcoming year, right around Winter Solstice. When the year was over I took them apart and reflected on what I'd actually done that year. It served as a reminder that life's events are impermanent and that we're always moving on.
Martha Beck, columnist for O Magazine, wrote an excellent article about vision boards and how they work. WikiHow gives a very basic set of instructions. Most people find that putting images together is so intuitive that they don't need much direction - once they get into the flow, the images almost arrange themselves.
