Description
Tired of making new year’s resolutions that don’t last as far as February? Forever setting goals then doing little about them except feeling guilty?
You’re not alone. Your Next Year is a workbook for creatives who already lead full lives. It takes you beyond goal-setting, and gently nudges you into action on the projects you want to complete. It helps you build a life you love, while making work that really matters.
Perhaps you already create for a living, so the paid work and the urgent deadlines always come first. Or perhaps you have a job, and never seem able to find time to work on the book, script, play, songs, designs, art you want to make – or to build your creative business to the point where is might allow you to quit the 9-5.
This is for you if:
-
You’re a maker, a creator. You write, act, perform, design. You make art, TV, films, theatre, fashion, crafts, music or entertainment.
-
You want to explore new directions, or get a big personal project over the line. But you never seem to find the time.Your paid work, your to-do list, and life in general just keep getting in the way.
-
You make resolutions every new year or make grand lists of goals every so often. Then you do very little about them except feel guilty.
-
You have big personal or self-directed projects you want to try – but without firm deadlines, you find it hard to get motivated.
- Even when you do find time, you end up procrastinating without really knowing why.
-
You constantly tell yourself that you will get going on the stuff you really want to make, just as soon as you get on top of your current work/your to-do list/this big deadline
-
You’ve done a big push on this before, but got burned out out and exhausted.
It walks you through a three-part process, step by step:
- Review your past 12 months. Celebrate your wins and your progress. Learn from your experiences. See what you’re ready to change.
- Assess the present. Check where you are right now, in all aspects of your life: health, wealth, relationships, work and play. And where you want to be, in 12 months’ time.
- Imagine the future. Let go of goals, expectations, all the shoulds, coulds and musts. And create a vision of a future you’d love to live in. Then put habits and routines in place to get you there. And also to help you enjoy the journey!
Use it year after year
The workbook is a 44-page printable PDF that you can work through at your own pace, and re-use as often as you like.
You don’t need to wait till the end of the year to use it. January is a fine time for a reset, but so is the start of the financial or academic year, your birthday – or any other time that feels right for you.
