It’s the same thing every year…
On the last night of the year, we make our new year resolutions and set goals for the upcoming 12 months. Exercising more, eating healthier, stopping smoking, losing a pound or two, or finally getting the job we’ve been always dreaming about.
We’ve all been there and almost all of us had the experience that these resolutions and goals often only last a few weeks before we neglect or even forget them. So why would we still make new year’s resolutions at all?
I’m sure you know Albert Einstein’s quote:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
New year goals and resolutions can be incredibly valuable and helpful when you know how to do it right. Perhaps you remember the end-of-the-year reflection tool? Your clients (and maybe even you yourself) reviewed the past year with all their experiences and insights.
But the true value of this reflection is only noticeable if we draw the right conclusions from it and start to take action!
We designed a new year goals worksheet (a concrete action plan) that enables your clients to translate their insights from the year-end reflection into concrete actionable steps for the upcoming year. Self-Reflection done right!
The action plan worksheet is the safest way to keep and accomplish your new year’s resolutions and goals.

The new year goals worksheet (action plan) will help you draw the right conclusions from your end-of-the-year reflection. You will create a concrete action plan for the upcoming year.
Instead of just reviewing and reflecting on the old year and throwing new resolutions overboard after a short time, you have a clear and precise action plan that you will pursue. It’s a proven way to make sure you accomplish your new year goals and resolutions.
Identify how to use the insights you have gained from the end-of-the-year reflection in your everyday life and therefore increase the chances that you actually accomplish the goals you’ve set yourself.
Instead of repeating past mistakes you’ll learn from them and draw the right consequences. The crucial step is translating the learnings and insights you’ve gained and turning them into actionable steps for the future.
