How to set vision?

My boss recently advised me to jot down needs, wishes, issues, problems, disappointment, frustrations in my day to day life. He suggested that it helps to find a pattern and helps to set priority.

For an example

I am dissatisfied ....
I am dissatisfied due to less money.
I have less bank balance.
My salary is not enough.
I have less time to study.

When we keep on jotting down our need, and frustration, and etc. It will help us to find things make us happy, helps to find our goal.

Because, I suffer in a syndrome called "lack of vision", When you are frustrated and dis-appointed, jot-down every thing. Hope this tip will help you.

I thought it is wonderful idea and easy to practice.
