A\u00a0tidying of my physical space helps to\u00a0organize my mind and heart for the new year, but\u00a0I&#8217;ve discovered\u00a0that year-end planning\u00a0works best when\u00a0I work on both physical and mental tidying at the same time. Here are the seven\u00a0steps of\u00a0my\u00a0year-end planning\u00a0routine.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Wrap up the current big project or pause at a logical spot<\/strong>. If I am preparing a book for publication, I try to get it out by the beginning of December so that the rest of the month can be focused\u00a0on family time and\u00a0planning the coming year. If I can&#8217;t finish the big project, I will try to put it on hold\u00a0no later than the end of the first week in December.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look back at the previous year&#8217;s\u00a0vision board and goals<\/strong> to see if I&#8217;m close to where I hoped. I usually find that if the goals are aligned with the vision board, things tend go pretty well. On the years when they diverge,\u00a0results vary. If the vision board is where I can see it all the time, my results will usually\u00a0be more closely aligned with what I have posted on the board. If it&#8217;s out of sight, I may have slogged through a lot of to-do lists to check off a few goals, but sometimes I feel as if I spend the year going in circles. I&#8217;m learning . . .<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaluate the\u00a0current planner layout<\/strong> and see if it is still meeting my needs. Update as needed and print out new planner inserts. I print\u00a0a one-page-per-month planner so that I can have a yearly overview, plus the two-pages-per-week spread of my creative entrepreneur planner pages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check ongoing project lists in <a href=\"https:\/\/trello.com\/janicecampbell\/recommend\" target=\"_blank\">Trello<\/a>*<\/strong> and archive or add boards and cards as needed. Trello is a free planning app that lets me view and edit\u00a0virtual bulletin boards with all my projects on my phone or iPad. I use it to\u00a0maintain a birds-eye view of ideas, plans,\u00a0and long-term goal steps, as well as to capture ideas if I&#8217;m away from my paper planner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider whether\u00a0daily activities are still aligned<\/strong> with long-term goals and if my long-term goals accurately reflect my life&#8217;s calling or mission. Adjust as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take previous year&#8217;s financial files out of the active file drawer<\/strong>; set aside what will be needed for taxes;\u00a0throw away what can be tossed; and archive the rest in a labeled and dated box.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write birthdays,\u00a0conference dates, and other significant events on the wall calendars<\/strong>, and note needed reservations on my planner to-do list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it. Over New Year&#8217;s weekend, I will take time to create a new vision board, list priority projects for the coming year, and\u00a0print any remaining planner inserts. <strong>Do you have a year-end planning routine?<\/strong> I&#8217;d love to hear about it in the comments section below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>So teach\u00a0us\u00a0to number our days, that we may apply\u00a0our\u00a0hearts unto wisdom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Psalm 90:12<\/p>\n<h3>Happy New Year! Here&#8217;s a free printable calendar for you.<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just finished printing out my planner inserts for the coming months, and thought you might like to have a <strong>2016 monthly\u00a0calendar for your planner<\/strong>. It is designed to print on three sheets of letter-size paper (8.5 x 11&#8243;), and should be printed as a booklet, using both sides of the paper. If you don&#8217;t know how to do that, I&#8217;ve added screenshots of the settings for a laser printer and an inkjet printer. \u00a0Your little preview sketch should show two pages at a time, just as you see below.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest printing the calendar on regular paper first to make sure your settings are correct. When you are ready to print a final copy, user heavier paper so that you can write without show-through. I like to use mixed-media paper or resume paper. It prints on only three sheets, so it&#8217;s easy to experiment. When you&#8217;ve printed, fold the pages in half, punch if necessary, and insert them into your planner. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the monthly calendar\u00a0PDF:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/planner-monthly-2016-half-letter.pdf\"
