Download these plan for success printables to get clear on your plans and productivity. You can celebrate your success!

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how we often search for the magic bullet. The one tool or resource we are needing to achieve our goals and take our life to the next level.
It’s the belief that we need something that we don’t yet have to be successful.
The funny thing is, if you think about your own history of achievements you will probably start to notice that there was never one tool or one thing that really helped you to succeed overnight. It’s usually a series of actions that led you to a certain result. And maybe there were turning points or eureka moments along the way, but the foundation of you – who you are – was more or less the same before and after.
So the amazing realization is that you actually already have all you need inside of you, right now, to succeed.
Success is reachable and often we even know what we want. We have hopes and dreams and goals. It’s just a matter of actually tackling them, planning for success and believing in the process.
I have found that we often fail before we even begin, because we give up. It might seem like too much work. It might seem like such a far off destination. We doubt and fear and convince ourself it’s impossible. Maybe we can’t see past the horizon, because it’s such a big goal.
But if you zoom out, the journey is there, the road is there… you just have to keep going and keep following the path.
So my point is that we often have all we truly need to succeed in life. There isn’t a magical wand that changes things over night. Unfortunately, that’s only in the storybooks.
But the long journey can seem fast and furious, when you are in your flow and know your path. So it’s largely mindset and perspective on the journey that truly matters.
If you knew that you were just 30 days from the destination, then that’s something to work towards. When it’s just “someday” then that’s much less convincing or helpful.
So with these thoughts in my mind, I thought it’s high time to properly plan for 2018. I’m determined to work things out and I thought I would share the process with all of you.
I’m making printables to help guide my own planning process for the year. I hope that by sharing my printables, they will help you find clarity and plan the best possible year as well.
We aren’t yet finished with 2017, but with November known as the gratitude month, I think it’s a good time to reflect about the past year.
Start with celebrating your successes and expressing gratitude for where you are now.
No matter what has happened in your year so far, there’s always something to celebrate, learnings to chalk up and blessings to savor in.
Even if your list of accomplishments is a short one or just tiny things, there are always lessons learned and experience to add to our record.
Download the celebrate success worksheet in your preferred paper size below and take your time to journal your thoughts and feelings and start your yearly planning.

Free Printable Perpetual Calendar Planner Pages for free download so you can create your own DIY planner at home.

Who doesn’t want to be organized and plan for success, right?
I’ve always loved notebooks, stationery and planning… but always found it difficult to fit myself into a specific format, a specific number of pages and all the pre-printed planner systems out there.
I have always found myself wasting pages, skipping pages and often not having enough of certain pages. It’s a one size does not fit all situation.
That’s why I turned to creating printables and came up with my own set of perpetual planner pages.
I have tried bullet journaling and love the flexibility, but I also found redrawing boxes to be a waste of my time in the long-term.
Creating a perpetual, flexible printable design was the in-between that suits my needs.
These perpetual planner pages are between the two spectrums. It’s ready-made and easily printed again and again, but you can fill in the dates and use the unlabelled lined, list and blank pages for a variety of planning needs. I find this system to works the best for me.
You will get printable pages in both A4 or Letter sized PDFs for:
- year-long, 12 month calendar of goals page
- monthly calendar at-a-glance page
- weekly calendar at-a-glance with notes page
- check list lined note page
- half page blank note page
- full page blank brainstorming page

These perpetual calendar and planner pages will help you:
- plan your year-long goals, be your future log and record important dates that you want to see year-at-a-glance
- organize your monthly calendar, blog, or menu planning in a month-at-a-glance view
- organize your weekly tasks along with a notes checklist page
- organize your lists and to-dos no matter how many pages you need
- help you braindump, draw or mindmap ideas on blank pages

We all have busy lives and a million thoughts rushing around up in the noggin’ – so it’s really not uncommon to actually forget to do important daily tasks.
We all want to get a lot done, but it’s another thing to actually check off ALL the tasks on your ginormous to do list.
I’ve personally always had trouble keeping consistent on daily tasks and forming lifelong habits. I might get on for a stretch, but then I literally just forget and that triggers a downward spiral.
Hmm, maybe I need to actually form more habits, right? I’ve learned that to build a habit, you need a trigger that sparks you to do the thing and then you have to give yourself a reward to reinforce the habit.
I know, sounds like dog training, but I guess if it works, it’s all good!
So I created a monthly habit tracker to help myself with my habit building. It’s a great way to make a list that you can use as a reminder, as well as check off day by day, so you get that satisfaction as well.
But it’s not really about generating and keeping a stack of filled out habit trackers – I mean, unless you like that kind of thing!
It’s really about the process of making your list each month and giving yourself the time to evaluate what you consider important enough to actually make into a habit.
And it’s great if you crush it every day and get that perfect attendance award, but it’s also okay to realize at the end of the month that maybe some items on your wish list aren’t that important after all. Or maybe you need to focus on a smaller set of items to begin with.
I think a habit tracker is a great way to keep working on positive change in your life and to keep a running list of habit “experiments.” Consider it an experiment to see if it truly sticks for your lifestyle.
You can use this free printable monthly habit tracker to get mindful about your daily actions and what you are working towards in life. I hope it helps you to build amazing habits and reach your ultimate goals!

I created this cute little girl design a while ago for a guest newsletter, but not sure if it ever got posted or used. Either way, I figured it would be nice to share with everyone here on the blog and practice my skills in making a desktop and phone wallpaper.
I was thinking about how much time we spend in front of our computer screens and mobile phones – and how we could use it to our advantage by having an inspirational visual.
“Live Creatively” was the saying that came to mind, because I think it can encompass so many things, so many parts of our lives.
So whatever is top of mind for you and your life, I hope these wallpapers can help you on your journey to live creatively.
