- 40 pages, and the order is the product: every page about next year sits after every page about last year
- The reference page says it plainly - do not write the second half until the first is done. A goal set without reading the year that produced it is the goal you set last year
- Twelve empty months to read back through, two to a page, before anything is planned
- Not a resolution book. There is no resolution page, no streak grid, no habit counter and no scoring
- A streak grid is a machine for quitting on the ninth of January - it turns one missed day into a broken thing, and the broken thing goes in a drawer
- What replaces it is a quarterly page that asks what is still true, four times, which is the only review that has ever survived February
- No framework and no prompts that assume a life. Nothing says be specific, be measurable, or name your word of the year
- No wheel of life, no category list and no printed area of a life - a printed category list tells you what a full life is supposed to contain, and it is always somebody else's list
What is inside
Forty pages, and the order is the product. Every page about next year sits after every page about last year, and the reference page says plainly: do not write the second half until the first is done.
A goal set without reading the year that produced it is the same goal you set last year.
NOT A RESOLUTION BOOK
There is no resolution page, no streak grid, no habit counter and no scoring anywhere in this file.
A streak grid is a machine for quitting on the ninth of January. It turns one missed day into a broken thing, and the broken thing goes in a drawer.
What replaces it is a quarterly page that asks what is still true - four times a year, which is the only review that has ever survived February.
NO FRAMEWORK, AND NO PROMPTS THAT ASSUME A LIFE
Nothing here tells you to be specific, be measurable, or name your word of the year.
There is no wheel of life, no category list and no printed area of a life - because a printed category list tells you what a full life is supposed to contain, and it is always somebody else's list.
The year behind is twelve empty months. What was in yours is what was in yours.
INSIDE
· Twelve months to read back through, two to a page
· Four summary pages - what actually changed, what you got wrong about yourself, what you kept doing that did not work
· Four pages on what you want, written only after that
· Twelve months ahead, two to a page
· A stop page, because a year that only adds is a year that gets heavier
· Four quarterly check-ins
· Three carry-forward pages for what did not get done and still matters
No year is printed anywhere, so it works for the turn of any year and does not expire.
