How To Plan Your 2026
There’s something about the start of a new year that makes everything feel possible - a blank page and a gentle reset. I’m not one for dramatic reinvention, but I am big on getting organised early, so the year doesn’t run away with me. Every January, I print out my weekly planning sheets, map out the months ahead, and pin up my A0 calendar so that 2026 feels visible, and therefore manageable.
This year, I’m adding a misogi into my planning to get the most out of my year - one big, slightly daunting goal that sits outside the day-to-day and makes the year feel directional. I’m also pencilling in mini breaks early, so there’s rest built in before everything fills up. I find it really helps to plot the year out properly at the beginning, while there’s still space in the diary, so you’ve got things to look forward to and you’re not trying to squeeze everything in later on.
Here’s what I’m using to plan 2026!
