For someone like me, constantly juggling club meetings, work, and classes; creating the time to start up a new planner is so refreshing. I create a bullet journal that allows you to personalize your own planner!
3. Creating a chill playlist

As this hectic year wines down, creating a nice playlist to get you through the last work grind. Spotify is a great place to search some relaxing music, but if you need something more upbeat to gear your focus, look up stay awake and focus! on Spotify!

Whether you have your whole life figured out or not, having a schedule of just basic time planning will help you out greatly. it will allow you to construct a better time management persona, and you will be thanking yourself in the long run for it. Pro-tip: I like to put all my basic meeting times like class, club meeting, ect, in my my planner, but update them with more details as the dates come closer to them!
5. Create one SMART (Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic and Time-bound) goal

Creating one goal you want to achieve during the New Year will bring you a better outlook, and will make you thrive to create another one! The whole point of a SMART goal is to allow yourself to make a small goal and work your way up to bigger ones. **Remember, this is made for your own pace, don’t feel pressured to rush this goal to keep up with other’s. Everyone get succeeds at their own pace**
So there you have it! These are five things that will help you feel more refreshed and organized for the upcoming year! This my take on some of the things that help me get into a better perspective for the next year, and I hope this has helped you too!
