2025 is officially coming to a close.

At the end of every year, I do two things:

1. Conduct a reflection on the current year
2. Create a plan for the coming year

I provided my reflection process in my ​​​Personal Annual Review​​​ last week.

Note: To go deeper on that process, you can download a free template ​here​​.

Today, I'll share my ​Annual Planning Guide​, which will arm you with the structure and tools you need to make 2026 your best year yet.

In 2021, as I was leaving a traditional career path to create my own, I asked a mentor for advice on the entrepreneurial journey ahead.

His response was simple:

Create things that you’d want to consume.

To be completely transparent, while that always made sense to me when it came to my writing, I never knew what it meant when it came to business.

That is, until 18 months ago, when something clicked.

Here’s the story of what happened—and the secret project that changed my life...

Last week, I read a ​research paper​ from a group of Harvard and UCLA psychologists that I can't stop thinking about.

Its title grabbed me immediately: The peculiar longevity of things not so bad.

In this piece, I share my learnings from the paper and what they mean for your life...

I started conducting a Personal Annual Review over a decade ago. It's been a life-changing exercise—one with an outsized impact on my personal and professional growth and transformation.

Today's piece shares the structure for my Personal Annual Review...

Note: I recommend downloading my free ​Annual Review PDF​ to walk through each of the questions and create space for the reflection. For those who want to go deeper and return to the exercise more regularly, I recommend ordering a copy of the ​Life Planner​.

The Domino Mindset occurs when one small negative creates a chain reaction of negative conclusions.

• "I made a mistake on this task" becomes "I'm terrible at my job"
• "That conversation felt awkward" becomes "Everyone thinks I'm weird"
• "That was a stressful commute" becomes "My morning is ruined"

The first domino tips and cascades. The small piece of evidence becomes a full story. The tiny miss becomes the defining feature...

We all want clarity. We all want a perfect line of sight from where we are to where we want to end up. The plan for the perfect career. The perfect business. The perfect relationship. The perfect whatever.

So, we wait for that clarity. We assume the perfect move will come to us. Like a blinding flash in the middle of the night. The insight. The revelation.

We tell ourselves we’ll act once we know for sure what the right move really is...

One day, a young warrior was walking to his training when he spotted his teacher, a master warrior, tending to plants in the garden.

He approached cautiously and stood quietly, not wanting to disturb the man from whom he had learned so much.

“What is it you want?” Asked the master warrior, without breaking focus from the plants.

The student replied, “Why do we train for war? Would it not be more tranquil and serene to be a gardener and tend the plants?"

The master paused, turned to the student, and smiled...

Every year around the holidays, I take some time to set my intentions for the year ahead.

There's a simple story I came across years ago that has proven helpful in this exercise year after year...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States.

Ever since I was a kid, it's been my favorite holiday. To me, it was always a celebration of here and now.

My mom embraced the day as a chance to bring people together. Having been introduced to Thanksgiving by a loving host family who took her in when she came to America for college in 1978, it strikes me that she feels a sense of duty to pay that love forward.

Every year, she hosts a big gathering of family, friends, and a smattering of my dad's students and mentees who don't have local family to visit for the occasion.

And every year, after the big meal is finished, we choose a prompt and go around the table reflecting and responding to it.

This year, I'm in charge of that prompt. Here's what I plan to ask:

What did your younger self pray for that you take for granted today?

To understand why I chose this, let me take you back to 2021...
