Why is it important to plan your year ahead?
Planning ahead for the next year has some highly important benefits: it contributes to your personal and business growth; it helps you set priorities and focus on them; you get to prevent all sorts of risks and get accustomed to change.
A goal refers to an expected outcome that has one or several specific objectives which have to be achieved within a designated time frame. Regarding the time frame, goals can either be long-term goals, or short-term goals. These two basic categories can be further sub-divided:
solving, innovation, or some type of improvement;
Remember that goals should relate to accomplishments (therefore the result), not activities.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym and it stands for:
quality, cost, etc.
An accurate planning process will ensure you always know what your next move will be. This way, you will be prepared to handle change more easily: knowing all the next steps will help anticipating the risks. Also, it’s a great way to monitor your progress.

Could you have done things better?
Think from both personal and professional perspectives. What elements still need improvement? What would you do differently? Type in the answers.
What are your achievements in the past year?
Think of the major events that took place. What are you proud of/excited about?
What do you have in mind for the following year?
Taking into consideration the year that has just passed, it's time to make new, bigger, bolder plans. Will you change the city/country you are living in? Are there any new skills you are planning to acquire? Are you taking a new career step?
Choose several areas in which you are prepared to make a huge difference this year. Consider taking just a few, maybe just 2 or 3 areas. Having too may areas to focus on would imply a waste of your energy. List them and choose icons to set their priority levels:
