You know my favorite part of a new year? Yep, you guessed it: MAKING PLANS. If you’ve been here for literally one (1) minute, you probably have noticed that I’m a bit obsessed with dreaming big, setting goals, and making plans.

For that reason, I literally COULD NOT resist making a video about my new year planning process! When I told y’all I was going on hiatus at the end of December, I mentioned my “what’s next retreat” (an entire week of planning planning planning.) A lot of you guys requested that I make a VIDEO about my yearly goal-setting process… and I was like, why not!? (January 8th isn’t too late to talk about making goals for 2020, right?)

So without further ado, here you have it: my (rather intense) planning process, start to finish. How I set goals, prioritize what’s most important to me, and stick to my new-and-improved healthy habits.

In this video, we cover a LOT of ground. Just a few of the points:

• why we make goals in the first place (oooh brain science)
• my secret to setting meaning goals
• a bulletproof prioritization method that underlines your most important goals
• tips for actually KEEPING your new habits
• my new favorite yearly planner notebook!!

Let’s talk.

Let’s talk planning! How do YOU make plans and set goals for the new year? If you try out this process, let me know how it went!!
