2024 - goals
When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
- Confucius
December might be my favourite month - not just because it means I get to buy a lot of presents and think about how to bring more beauty to the people around me but also because it means new planner - new journal - new creative routine to establish it.
Each year I try different things and what works moves into next year, what doesn’t says behind. So there are some tools that stay with me year after year - this is one of them.
Year in goals is my way to reflect and move forward kind of way. I have the areas with some goals and then in my journal I elaborate on milestones and actions that will make me reach each and everyone of them. Every 3 months I circle back on this and see what needs to be adapted or change depending on the case. Since everyone I meet and know me how passionate I am about journaling they are super interested to take a pick into my ritual :) but since there are a lot of things that are personal or confidential I don’t give access to people to my journal.
This is an exercise that is has been with me for 4 years ever since I was inspired by vlogger that I follow - Raksha. She now works with the Bullet Journal Team, and is not so active on youtube since moving countries but yet her account is brilliant.
If it inspires you - in the tab for resources you can download the papers and print them to be used.
There there are 8 categories for the year that is closing - where I write the things that are important on personal and professional areas, lessons that the year have taught me, highlights, what I am grateful for, where have I traveled, one word to describe the year, what was more needed. If there are still some goals not achieved and there are still important I move them on the next year.
them for the following year there are also 8 categories on personal and professional area, what I want to learn, read, visit, keep, be, let go.
if you are using this please remember to revisit the page every 3 months or so and create small action plans that will bring you closer to your goals or help you achieve them. Also, be prepare to change, adjust or move if something new shows up.
It is an interesting exercise with myself in order to have small steps toward my dream life.
What else do we have?
Words to live by - quotes or interesting sayings
20 in 24 - 20 things that I want to do in 2024
Places to travel - cool points of interest to visit when the time is right
Less / More - here is a list of the things I want to pay attention and there is intention to do them more often
Year in pictures - one picture per month and ever since I got the Canon that turns the picture in stickers I love even more to do this part in my journal. Even more than when I was using only the Instax from Fuji and the Kodak Printer.
It comes the normal agenda with 12 months of meetings, projects, follow-ups and others.
After that there is the area with exercises, coaching tools, techniques, reflection practices and other things that might come handy on the day to day area. And that is it :)
