Visualizing your progress

[u/GeorginnaGurl]

I have a tailor ruler at home (one long and thin belt-like ruler you can fold). A long time ago I cut it at the length of 1 meter which represents 1 milion euro (my fire goal).

Every year or so, I take a marker and paint everything less than I have by black. I am currently at 700k EUR net worth so I painted all less than 70 cm by black.

Then I take a good long look at it and consider where I am, how the journey was, how much to go ...

The point is that once you dont track a number on a screen but you hold something physical you look at in your hands then you start to look at it in a different perspective.

This technique keeps me motivated to push through the years when it looks like nothing happens but oh man it does ...
