Happy New Year!

Have you been reflecting on your goals for the upcoming year? Are you like me? Drawn to every planning event out there? Desiring to make a perfect year plan?

There are a LOT of planning events being advertised right now. And my curiosity about how people plan their year draws me to these events like a bug is drawn to the light.

But, they never seem to be exactly what I want. So...

I've decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own planning process and 2024 calendar. It is...

SIMPLE.
Visible.
All in one place.
Content-based.

I detail the essential elements of my personalized calendar and planning process, emphasizing the importance of having clear goals, a focus for each week, and visibility of my podcast episode (or for you, it might be content (blog, YouTube, Live topic) and projects. The calendar includes sections for goals, weekly focuses, month views, podcast planning, project tracking, and WINS.

Ahhh, the beauty and simplicity of this design is helping me stay organized already.

I share my preference for printing it out as a PDF first, getting messy with it, and then printing it as a wall calendar in Canva and hanging it right near your desk to update and follow all year. I share my plan to use it to document wins and accomplishments, creating a visual record of success.

And the best part is...

I want to share it with you!

You can get access to my exact calendar. It is ready for purchase at simplysquaredaway.com/plan. This includes a PDF version to print and plan messy, a Canva template that you can print in calendar form, and a tutorial video.
