As the year winds down, this is the perfect time to pause long enough to look back, gather real feedback from your own life, and decide what you want to carry forward into the new year. In this week’s More Than Organized Monday, I talk about the simple review process I use every December to reflect on what worked, what did not, and what I learned about myself along the way. These questions help me decide what to keep, what to let go of, and how to create a plan for the year ahead that is flexible, realistic, and supportive rather than overwhelming.
I share why reviewing your year matters, how I use my calendar to jog my memory, and why planning ahead frees up mental space on the days when my energy is low. You will hear the three core questions I return to every year: what I loved, what I never want to do again, and what I learned about myself. I talk through how these answers shape the choices I make, the projects I prioritize, and the expectations I set for my business and my home. I also share how I adjust my schedule throughout the year, why pre-planning protects my creativity, and how small decisions made early keep big projects from turning chaotic.
If you want to enter the new year with more clarity, less pressure, and a better understanding of what truly supports you, this conversation will give you a simple framework to start with. Reflecting does not have to be complicated. It is just an honest look at what brought you joy, what drained you, and what would make next year easier. Watch the video and use these questions to guide your own year-end review. I hope it helps you create a year that aligns more fully with how you want to live and work.
