🏴‍☠️ Your Next 52 Weeks

I sat on the couch on New Year’s Eve last year, staring at the clock and telling myself this year would be different.

I said that the year before. And the one before that.

But there I was again—half-empty champagne glass, too full stomach, and a list of promises I already doubted I could keep. It wasn’t laziness.

It was fear. Fear that I’d try and still fall short, fear that change would take more than I had left to give.

Forget massive overhauls that fizzle out after two weeks.

Real growth happens in small, consistent steps.

This isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about stacking wins.

Over the next year, you’ll create habits that stick, routines that feel natural, and progress you can actually see.

Weeks 1–13: Laying the Foundation

Week 1: Take Inventory
You can’t fix what you don’t measure. Evaluate yourself 1–10 in areas like health, relationships, and focus.

Write down what’s working and what’s not.

For guidance on using AI to reflect on past achievements and break goals into steps, read Luciana Paulise's Forbes Article.

Prompt: Describe the patterns, habits, or beliefs I’ve been holding onto that might be keeping me stuck. Your task is to help me see what I might be avoiding.

Week 2: Clear Goals, Clear Mind
Be specific. Vague goals lead to vague results.

Define one target for each area you want to improve.

The Voice Magazine provides examples of using AI to set personalized strategies for achieving resolutions.

Prompt: Paint a vivid picture of where I want to be in 12 months. Your task is to make it so clear that I can almost feel it.

Week 3: Build Routines That Work
Morning routines aren’t magic, but they are momentum.

Start with 3 non-negotiables like water, movement, and journaling.

Prompt: Guide me to design a routine that reflects who I want to become, not who I’ve been.

Week 4: Fuel Your Body
Pick one change: drink more water, cook at home, or walk daily.

The easier it feels, the more likely you’ll keep going.

Week 5: Track Your Spending
No budgets yet. Just awareness.

Write down everything you spend for 7 days.

Week 6: Clean Up Your Space
Clutter isn’t just physical. It’s mental.

Toss what you don’t need and organize what you do.

Prompt: Help me uncover why I’ve been holding onto clutter—physical or mental—and what letting go could feel like.

Week 7: Master Your Calendar
No more flying by the seat of your pants.

Block time for priorities, even if it’s just 15 minutes.

Week 8: Handle Stress Better
Try box breathing, quick walks, or short meditations.

Even 5 minutes can shift your mood.

Week 9: Connect Intentionally
Relationships grow when you water them. Send a quick text or plan a coffee with someone you miss.

Prompt: Help me identify the one relationship I need to nurture or repair first and why it matters.

Week 10: Level Up Your Mindset
Books, podcasts, or online courses. Pick one thing and commit to learning weekly.

The Shelpful Blog has prompts for habit formation using AI strategies inspired by Atomic Habits.

Week 11: Journal What Matters
Track wins, struggles, and lessons.

Clarity comes from reflection.

Week 12: Confidence Is Built, Not Found
Do one thing that scares you.

Speak up in a meeting, try a class, or start a conversation.

Week 13: Celebrate Progress
Review what you’ve done so far.

Notice patterns and decide what’s next.
