My word for the year ahead
What is this?
This booklet will help you assess the past year and plan the year ahead of you.
Pick a word to symbolize and define the year ahead. You can look at this word if you
need some extra energy, so you remember not to give up your dreams.
Why is this good for me?

Planning your year is a good habit. It can help you become more aware of your successes
and sorrows and make you realize how much can happen just in a year. By learning
from the past you can plan your future in a way that you dont repeat the same patterns
and feel more in control of your own life.
Secret wish
Unleash your mind. What is your secret wish for the next year?
What do i need?
1st version (lone wolf version)
