We’re coming close to the end of yet another year. Around this time I like to reflect on the past year and plan for the future. I’ve done that through different posts in previous years. What I’d prefer to do this year is refer you to a series of posts to assist you in reflecting on your year and preparing for the future. Namely 3 posts that guide you in creating a vision for your life as a whole, 3 posts on planning for the year ahead and goal setting and 3 posts on books and podcasts to read, listen to or watch throughout the year.
You don’t have to go through all the below, just choose a few that speak to what you want to focus on and they will hopefully help you plan for the year ahead and beyond or lead you to resources that will do that for you.
Creating a vision for your life
These are posts that guide you in creating a vision for your life. An overall vision looking years into the future, as much as 10 years or even more.
- You can’t get where you’re going without a destination in mind – The need for a vision.
- Example of a ten year plan for a remarkable life – A guide for peering into your life 10 years from now as outlined by Debbie Millman.
- Have you heard about Steve Harvey’s 300? – Encourages you to write a list of 300 things you want in life. It is one of the most read posts on this blog with over 9000 views.
Goal setting and planning for the year ahead
The next posts are ones that accompany the above. After creating a grand vision for your life, these will help you reflect on this past year and plan for the year ahead. The second one will assist you in goal setting. The third one will endeavour to encourage you to align your life with your vision.
- Reflecting on this year and preparing for the next
- Setting quarterly or monthly goals
- How to align your habits, routines and environment with your vision
Books and podcasts
These are posts that list books and podcasts that you can read or watch throughout the year to help transform your life and inspire you to keep going. The books or the book you choose are to guide you in transforming your life. The podcasts will hopefully offer encouragement for you to know that anything is possible and for you to keep going after your dreams when you feel like giving up. The last list is of books to read on money making and management. I included it because I believe it’s one topic anyone in the pursuit of their dreams needs to learn for their individual money desires.
- Personal development books that will help you transform your life
- 10 podcast episodes to prove that you can transform your life
- 5 books to read on money, saving, investing and all things money related.
