How to reflect on 2024 & get organised for 2025
As 2024 is rapidly coming to an end, it’s time to start reflecting on the year. Whether you are focusing on your yearly brand wrap up or delving into what personal goals you smashed, we are here to help ask questions that can help you improve for 2025.
Setting tangible goals is a must for everyone future focused. Developing clear roadmaps and objectives allow you to look at the steps you need to take to reach your ambitions. Good things come with time, planning, dedication and hard work!
To start, let’s get into the debate of writing vs typing… Writing your goals by hand is more than just putting pen to paper - it’s deliberate, personal, and demands your full attention. The act of writing forces you to slow down and really think about what you’re committing to and what you have achieved. It’s satisfying seeing your goals written in your own handwriting; it makes them feel more real, and even better when you can cross things off. Typing might be faster but can often feel detached. Writing slows you down in the best way, giving you space to connect with what matters and commit to action for the future. Grab your iced latte, pen and paper, and see where you go!
