We’re approaching the end of 2023, and I’m starting to think about my goals for the year ahead. A year ago, I didn’t know that we would be changing the country we call home, so 2023 has been a year of making shifts and pivoting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m hoping that the year ahead will find us more settled and I will have regained a routine that allows me to be productive. \ud83e\udd1e\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m seriously considering getting Leonie Dawson’s goal planning workbooks, probably in PDF form, so I can save some trees and use the PDF version or go old-school and print the pages. Either way, I feel like I need to do my goal planning in a way that has worked for me previously, and Leonie’s workbooks do it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of what method I will use to plan my year, I know the last few weeks of December will find me sitting in the quiet (at home or by the beach), setting my intentions for the upcoming year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the things I didn’t make the progress I wanted to with is my fiction book. I know I need to set aside the time to work on it consistently, or it will never happen. This is another area where I need to go back to doing what works for me: committing to dedicating a few hours a day to the book, regardless of how much gets done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m grateful for my break from social media because it’s allowed me to check in with myself and consider what my next steps should be. Rather than looking for a new program or book to help me with my issues, I’ve just reviewed what I’ve done in the past and reminded myself about what actually works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find it funny that as a coach, I used to remind people to celebrate their successes and review them frequently to remind themselves what’s possible, and I forgot to do it for myself. Thankfully, I could reconnect with that advice and practice it myself to get unstuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I look forward to reporting on my progress. Whether that’s with my goal planning, novel writing, or sticking with a routine, I hope to have a stellar year to review at the end of 2024! \ud83c\udf89\ud83e\udd73<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
