Year in Review Planner

A4, fits US Letter · 18 pages · color and black & white · printable PDF

A year-in-review planner that ends in decisions, not just notes. Look back without sugar-coating, do the math on your money and your time, then turn it into three goals at most – the ones that actually fit into your week. Two routes through the book: about one hour, or two to three evenings. No year numbers inside, so you can use it every year.

What's inside

WHAT'S INSIDE (18 pages: 2 covers, 1 guide page and 15 worksheets)

LOOKING BACK

  • Your Way Through the Pages – the short and the long route
  • My Year at a Glance – gut-feeling questions
  • My Year in Four Parts – one photo and a few keywords per quarter
  • What I Had Planned – last year's resolutions: what became of them, and why
  • My Year, Bottom Line – money and a typical week of 168 hours, estimated
  • What Was Good for Me – specific names, places, moments
  • What Drained My Energy – with "can I influence it?" and possible relief
  • What Stays, What Can Go – keep, change or end, with hours or cost per week

LOOKING AHEAD

  • What Fits Into the New Year – a weekly time budget with formulas and a cautious rule of thumb
  • My Three Priorities – with a "does it all fit?" check for time and cost, and a parking lot
  • My Goals 1–3 – result, first step, time and money, obstacles, a small version for hard weeks
  • My Next Four Weeks
  • Test a Habit (template) – 28-day tracker
  • Check In (template) – what works, what was too big, decide again

TIPS WHERE YOU NEED THEM

Why a hard year doesn't need to be dressed up, how to count your hours without counting any twice, and why two good goals beat three half-done ones. A reflection tool, not therapy or advice.
