One of my examples were if I wanted to finish up a degree within a year. I want to keep going. I have to revise my work sometimes if I need to send it over to my professor and they wasn't grading it as fast as I want to. So I definitely took the time to contact my professor for an update on a grading timeframe and it definitely coordinated with my vision board and you definitely want to spend a good amount of time on it. Some days you might have to start and it might not go as planned. So it's okay to revise it multiple times, removing some items from it, adding things, even starting over, and I definitely have done this in the past because I wanted to have a clear and focused vision on my goals, which is critical for me, and I want to ensure that my vision accurately represents my aspirations.
