2024 Yearly planner

A gift for you!

This year you have big dreams you want to accomplish. So you had last year. But now we are towards the end of 2023 and the months have gone by and not many things have happened. Does that sound familiar? I know, this is true for many us, including myself. My head is always bursting with new ideas. The problem is I don’t make time for all my ideas. If you want this year to be different you need to start taking action and implementing your ideas. Easier said than done! I know, I know. Do you want to know my secret? A planner. This year will be different because you will plan using your 2024 planner.

If I plan ahead, if I commit to take action I am much more likely to do it. And don’t get me wrong, life happens. It always happens. For all of us. But if I come to my studio every morning without a plan… Well, I end up on Instagram or answering emails… If I have a plan, I open my planner and it says “Ana, write a blog post about planners”. Then I sit down and I do it! Cross it off my list and move on into the next item. Otherwise, I start thinking of my next genius idea, doing a little bit of research, then… I get an email about something else and I get distracted, … what was I doing? Then I upload some of my designs to some POD site, get bored … check my email again… You get the idea!

So planning is the key to success. And when I talk about planning, I mean daily planning, weekly, monthly, and yearly. The annual planning is so very important as well. I write down all my big ideas and decide which ones I want to focus on, how much time should it take me and come up with a reasonable timeline for my whole year. Yes, things change, and I am ready for it (in theory!). But I know that by January/February I have to have my summer collection ready to go. And that my October, with the all the school breaks, is almost non existent, so I plan accordingly. I set realistic goals and make a conscious choice of what things I want to commit to finish for the next year.

So, let me present to you my FREE monthly planner for 2024

It’s my gift to you this year so you can succeed and make all your dreams come true. I think I have mentioned this before, but science says planning helps you achieve your goals. It’s not just me.

It also, comes with a monthly reminder to step out your comfort zone and keep learning!

I started planning my life a couple of years ago and it has make a huge difference because I make a concious decision on how to spend my time and what I think will be more relevant for me and my business. I also try to stay flexible because whether is children, pets, family members, there will always be surprises thrown at you. I also make sure I take care of myself because if I am not doing well, mentally or physically, it’s truly impossible for my business to thrive. And even though, that could be a whole another topic, I try to take care of myself by getting a good night of sleep, eat well, exercise, and be mindful. As part of my well being, I continue to learn so my brain doesn’t atrophy any faster than it needs to and very importantly I STEP OUT of my comfort zone. It’s easier to stay inside your bubble, but growth only happens outside of your comfy zone. So, if you didn’t feel uncomfortable at all last year, try to think of ways to feel uncomfortable next year! I know, it’s sound weird but you’ll thank yourself (and me!) later!

Happy Planning,

Ana
