So you've had a chance to gather photos during stage one of creating your
image-driven action plan. It's time to move onto stage two.

| Image-driven Action Plan (In Process) |
Arrange: The next stage of the plan to is to arrange. Specifically, to arrange your photos, your thoughts, and your ideas. There are a number of ways to do this. Many people create dream or inspiration boards. I certainly think these are valuable tools, but I don't know that creating a collage is enough. It's important that you also
process why you chose certain images and how those images are either in or out of alignment with your ideal life.
I arrange my action plan by choosing one image per one well-defined question. For example I might find an image that answers the question: "Where would I like to work?" Once I've chosen the image I ask the following questions:
- What single words best describe this image?
- How does the image differ from my current reality?
- What would need to change to make this my current reality?
- And, what one thing can I do today that will get me closer to making this my reality?
This process, when repeated, can help you define your goals and plan your next steps.
