Planning for beginners (Monthly Planning and Reflection)

If you are just starting out with planning, a monthly planning ritual is the best place to start.

In the initial months, cultivating this habit of spending at least 1 hour with yourself and writing about your feelings, experiences, goals and aspirations is important.

If you feel comfortable with basic monthly planning and reflection, it may mean that it’s time to move on to setting bigger goals and making them happen!

About the Planner

I love journaling and have been journaling for the past 6 years. But quite recently, I started doing Monthly reviews with myself around how my life is progressing and what goals I have for myself for the next month… soon I started seeing myself set up 1-hour meetings with myself every month to do my monthly review. I had more clarity around what projects I want to work on and will prioritise. Overall, it gave me more clarity of thought and direction.

As I started finding it a pain to manually write all my reflection questions every single month, I set out to print my own planner and journal. What I ended up creating was loved not just by myself, but by several others. I’ve hence decided to share my planner with everyone interested to use this.

I will be sharing more videos and guidance around how to use this planner, but the planner itself contains a lot of guidance on how to use it. Aside from all this, I will be available over email to answer any of your questions and concerns.

I hope that you find the same value that I found with this planner. Happy writing!
