This is a huge part of helping yourself stay on track of your own life.  Writing out your goals in your planner and some personal reflection help visualize what you want your year to look like, and is always there for a good reminder!

Ask yourself these questions to start the process of finding out what goals you are looking to achieve!

• Who do I want to be this time next year?
• How do I want to feel this coming year?
• What are the action steps I need to take to help me reach each one of my goals?

Goals should govern how you allocate your time and plan out your schedule. You must focus on different areas of your life to move it forward! 

 

There are so many ways to get started with your new planner, find a way that works for you!  Setting up your new planner is exciting and here at STARTplanner we are ready for you to see the change in focus, productivity and make time for the things in life that matter the most. And remember it doesn’t have to be pretty to be functional!  Happy Planning!
