Episode 47: Planning Your Next Year...Now

Every year for as long as I can remember, I have begun looking at the results of my current year in the 4th quarter to begin assessing my progress and planning the next year. We have 2 months left to accomplish whatever we are going to this year, and to set some goals for the next.

As I began this ritual for myself this year, I thought I'd share some things that have been helpful for you here. In addition to what I talk about in this episode, I want to say making a mind map of my goals has been helpful for me too. I started doing this about 10 years ago. What I do is put my name in the middle of the page. I draw branches off of the center and organize my goals visually by categories that make sense to me. Then, when they are all out there in one spot, it's easy to see how they fit together or how some may not be compatible with others. Maybe I'll do that as a separate episode in the future with some video?

Last, if you have any books or tools around goal setting post them in the comments, share on my social media page or feel free to email them! If I get a collection I can compile and share.

Let's make 2022 out best year yet!
