I tried every (ok, 10!) resolution planner, goal worksheet, and viral 2025 manifestation so you don't have to.
Reporting back after trying viral (and not viral!) methodologies like Grace Clarke's 2025 Planner, Dianna Cohen's 2025 moodboard, Sara Foster's "letter to your future self", and-- gasp!-- ChatGPT...
January is the best time to set some goals, make some moodboards, and manifest some shit. Forget December! There’s simply no time. You know what I have an abundance of now?
Time. Indoors. Months of it, looming ahead of me, in that ominous, depressing way that only Winter can truly master.
I like setting goals, intentions, plans, or aspirations for myself for the year ahead. They do feel a little useless if you don’t check in with them along the way. There were so many tempting methodologies on offer on my For You page or Substack feed that I decided to do something truly crazy, and try them all and report back, so you don’t have to.
What ensued was a veritable pu pu platter of New Year’s resolution and goal setting reflections, worksheets, and more. Here’s what I tried, and here’s what I learned.
What to expect below:

The Playlist:
I made this when I was procrastinating instead of manifesting. But it was an excellent soundtrack to the 12 hours of reflection, writing and working on my future goals.
