plan with me for 2024 | annual reset and reflection with free notion template

[Music] welcome back to another video today we're diving into a review of my 2023 goals and also we're going to plan for 2024 I especially feel like this was a year that passed by super quick compared to the last couple years at least and so much has happened so we're going to go through what my goals were whether I achieved them didn't achieve them maybe we made some changes to the goals themselves I I'm going to also take you guys through some of the key mileston SL moments that I've reflected on as I'm thinking about everything that's happened this past year and last but not least we're going to go through my 2024 goals all right I have my matcha ready to go and I'm super excited to dive into this as I go through my goals this video I'll be using my notion template I have a full notion tour that's still relevant but I'll pull this exact page out so you guys can just use it for annual goals which is what this page Pages for it's so funny cuz I went back to watch my 2023 planning video and I specifically said that I'm not a notion girlly how times have changed I use notion for 95% of my organization so that's what I'm going to be using on my laptop to walk you through my goals and we're going to review them as well as plan them for next year I'll just give you a quick review of what this page is but I have the categories on the left and then I also have this timer or this countdown which I put based off of how many days are left in the year as I'm recording this there are still a couple weeks left in 2023 and then I just included this photo which says grateful and thankful and before anyone asks that noise is my dog snoring okay I went back to double check because when I made the last video I was mostly using my digital planner and my paper planner to be honest I still use some of my paper planners but like I said 95% of things that I want to keep keep track of go into my notion just because I find it easier when it's digitized so I switched up I'm sorry the reason that I pointed that out is because I had them in my notebook at first and then I transferred them to my notion and then throughout the year I've added a couple more so we're going to run through them from the very top also here I have quarterly Reflections I honestly sto using these reflection pages I really like them like you can see what it looks like here but I just haven't used it so I will leave them if you guys want to use them for 2024 Maybe will start using them next year I don't know let's first start with personal goals the first goal I have here is go to the gym at least once a week I really hate to start this with a goal that I didn't achieve but I did not do this I use the app heavy by the way to track my workouts and in January was the strongest and then some of the months were pretty inconsistent to say the least so I did not accomplish that but we're going to reassess what that might look like for 2024 when you get to that portion the next goal that I had was finish reading four books I exceeded this goal by a long shot which is so awesome I've started reading this year I started reading thanks to my handy dandy Kindle I got this I think in August and I finally started reading again rather than four books let me pull up my reading list for you guys which I also keep on my notion the side note is when I made the goal of four books I fully envisioned that I'd be reading non-fiction self-help self-improvement business books because that's what I always associated with reading but it turns out you can have fun while you're reading and it can't be entertaining so I ended up reading a lot of fiction books Let's see how many in total for 2023 I read 12 books I am actually out here reading books which is so crazy so I'm really excited that I've taken on this new hobby these are all the books that I've read I've read a lot of fantasy as you can see and romance I read the acatar series aord of Thrones and Roses so that consumed a good chunk of the books I don't know if this is funny or not but for me it's kind of funny cuz I first picked up a book again in August and up until August I had not finished a single book so let that be a lesson you can really turn things around the next goal that I had was kind of random but I wanted to stop using SL buying plastic bags and basically that means any single used bags that You' get at the grocery store or at any type of store I accomplished this but I kind of cheated because not cheated but I'm pretty sure the regulations in the city of Toronto have changed because they don't sell plastic bags anymore which is a good thing but in addition to that regulation changing we definitely make it a habit to just bring our bags with us and avoid taking any bags from the stores and stuff just to reduce our overall waste the next category is finance I'm just going to give a heads up for this section in case you guys haven't watched some videos around my journey this past year I basically decided to quit my job a few months ago and I haven't had a job so with that my income has changed my finance situation has changed so these are obviously the goals that I made when I did have a job and a steady stream of income so with that in mind the first goal that I had was save 25% of my income this percentage was based off my 2022 savings I had saved 20% from 2022 and I wanted to see if I can increase it I will say that when I was working and had the income that this goal was based on I was saving at least 25% which is great however since I do not have a job now in total the amount that I had been able to save did not equal 25% which leads me to my next goal which is begin the home buying process this is one of those things that I have one changed my perspective on in terms of having a timeline two because my finance situation is very different life changes things change you can decide for yourself if you want to change your goals I kept this in here as well because I did make a point around these goals last year but considering everything that has happened and everything else that I've gained through this year I don't have any negative feelings about not achieving those goals I also put as my third bucket career I wanted to not get burnt out or once at the max I do feel like I achieved this it's funny when I watched last year's reset and review I was very Loosely talking about being burnt out in 2022 now when I think back at it it was definitely a harder year for me from a mental perspective but in 2023 I do remember distinctly there was a period that I was pretty burnt out and I think I even said it in a video or something but that was the only time that I really can think of and it was nowhere near the extent of what I was experiencing the year before so I'm going to say I achieved this and then the next point in career is have less anxiety and stress before presentations I can say a th% that I did achieve this I feel like I had a lot more opportunities this past year to conquer that fear it's kind of funny that I'm reviewing these now when I'm not in a job or that job even when I was making these goals but I am proud of the way that I had grown in 2023 so I achieved that goal the last bucket that I'm sure a lot of you guys are excited for I'm excited about it is content what a year it's been for content and this channel as the heads up I am going to be doing a how much YouTube paid me for 2023 wrapup a lot of you have asked about whether I'm going to make a video updating you guys on my analytics my AdSense and all that type of stuff and I am going to cover all of that in a dedicated video coming up it's probably going to be in January because I have to actually see how much YouTube pays me for the rest of the year but I'm super excited jumping into the first goal which kind of ties into how much YouTube paid me I had a goal of applying for monetization as of last December or beginning of this year and I did accomplish this I was eligible to apply for monetization in March of this past year it was an awesome way to start the year and I'm super grateful for all of your guys' support and just seeing how much things have changed over this past year is pretty wild to me the next goal that I had was upload to Youtube one to two times a week I did achieve this I had a couple instances I think when we were traveling that I didn't upload but I'm going to say overall I was pretty good with it and I had multiple times through the year that I was uploading twice a week which is crazy it's not going to be a regular thing but when I can I like to upload bonus videos all the Kudos and all the props to people that upload twice a week it is no joke the next goal I had was Rebrand my Instagram and post two to three times a month I have an Instagram it's Selen like Dion just like my YouTube when I say Rebrand it was basically due to the fact that I didn't feel like I had an aesthetic I didn't feel like it was really motivating me you know to post on Instagram and when I said two to three times a month that meant even stories like just anything cuz I was not doing anything on Instagram I did achieve this I have started posting again however it didn't turn out to be what I thought I was going to get out of rebranding my Instagram and feeling like this is another platform if you guys have watched some of my other videos I have mentioned that several times my relationship with it right now I had a couple more goals that I didn't mention in my last video and they're also goals that I added I think Midway through the year one of them was after I've been monetized I wanted to aim to generate at least $100 a month in YouTube ad Revenue which is the minimum payout threshold for your AdSense and I thought that would be an amazing goal to reach the payment threshold within 1 month and I am super excited to say I did achieve this more to come when I do my updated how much YouTube paid me and then the very last goal was get at least one paid brand collaboration and I'm very excited to say I've done a few brand collaborations this year I exceeded that goal which has been incredible and an awesome experience to learn from a huge part of that is thanks to you guys supporting me engaging with my content and I just want to say a huge thank you for letting me do cool things like this okay that was a lot I mean I obviously had to plan this video so none of that is a surprise and I have reviewed my goals through the year but it really goes back to the point of things evolving things changing in your life and figuring out how you adjust if you're behind on a goal for example like I was not reading anything the only reason I started reading was because I got a Kindle and you know I pivoted but there's other goals that I didn't achieve and it's also because I decided to pursue other things that came up this year all that to say I'm happy with how I ended 2023 in terms of my goals before we get into the 2024 planning I wanted to take a moment to talk about some of the Milestones some of the big moments in the past year that I've been really grateful for some experiences that I've had the first is probably no surprise but the fact that I decided to basically quit my job I say the word basically because if you watch till the end of that video I explained that I was on a contract position the contract was coming to an end and I decided not to extend the contract and not to get another job not to be dramatic but I would say this has been one of the most defining moments of my life to date I've received an overwhelming amount of support from that and sharing my thoughts around working and my relationship with work being a workaholic and leading up to that decision I had done so much reflecting in myself to think of what my priorities were the risks that I was willing to take and what I felt I needed for this period of my life and that was to have a break and to do things I feel F my cup and to let myself have time to just not be a workaholic like I happened the next I would say are the opportunities that have come with my YouTube channel and the growth that has happened this past year one example that is definitely top of mind is I was accepted to be a part of a accelerated program for creators across Canada it's hosted by concept which is a collaboration between YouTube and house I always struggle to explain that properly but it's in collaboration with YouTube so it's a YouTube program and I am one of the 20 creators that were selected to be part of the cohort I had actually applied to be in that program the previous cohort so a few months ago they did another group and I did not get accepted so to see that the effort and persistence that I put in over those few months had actually paid off was super rewarding with that having been able to meet other creators that are like-minded has been amazing you guys know that I've shared my thoughts on the challenges of meeting people when you're an adult and all that a lot of the people that I talk to now are people that are creators and I did not expect that to happen this year but I'm so so grateful for that being one of the things that has come from YouTube another big moment was my boyfriend and I had traveled to Turkey and Greece in September SL October that was my first time being in both countries it was such an amazing experience definitely one of my top favorite trips that I've ever been on I have a vlog of it on my channel if you want to see the trip but while we were on the trip it just sparked something within me around how much there is to see in the world and how much more I would love to be able to travel so I'm really grateful that we were able to take that trip and I hope that in 2024 we'll be able to do more fun things like that as well the last big thing that I'll mention there's a million things to be honest but I'm going to narrow it down to keep it concise I picked up hobbies in 2023 you guys had just seen the books that I read for 2023 before I started reading with my Kindle I had not read a f book since high school which is absolutely wild as I was reading it was just so cool to feel like I was picking up something that I used to love so much and had lost for so many years another thing that I picked up again was playing guitar so I used to be very heavily involved in music growing up and in the last few years I just haven't played guitar I had it sitting in the corner but I've started playing again and that's something that I feel has brought me so much joy I love that I've made time for myself this year to remember the things that fill my cup and actually take time to do them so those are some of my favorite moments and Milestones there's been a lot and I could probably make this into a whole video in and of itself but I will say that being able to Vlog and share a lot of the stuff that I've just talked about within those videos through the year has been one of my favorite things as well the last and one of the most exciting parts let's dive into planning for 2024 I started a new notion page it looks very similar to last year's page cuz I do like the template but I just switched it up a little you know and reordered some things I made a new countdown so this countdown is how many weeks there are until the end of 2024 and then I updated this picture because I feel like one of the main things I want to focus on for 2024 is discipline but I also want to remind myself to be kind and be myself the three lines here encapsulates the things that I want to focus on for 2024 but you guys can totally replace this picture when you take the template for yourself I have updated the buckets based off the things that I want to focus on for 2024 and I've created a separate bucket for or these aren't buckets but I've created a section for health and wellness as its own thing so that's actually the first category the first goal that I'm going to put here kind of goes back to one of my goals for 20123 and that was around going to the gym but I don't know if going to the gym in the sense of of strength training lifting weights is maybe the right approach for the way that I view Fitness now I love to give myself room to try classes for example or even yoga something that might not be as intense as lifting weights which is what I used to be very dedicated in so instead I'm going to put have at least one dedicated movement section per week and I love to take that goal and give myself room to try other ways of movement I'm not going to include walks in this because because that is kind of just part of my daily routine I want to have something that's like dedicated to getting exercise but not necessarily a super intense workout so I do hope that reframing the goal that I had before can help me actually achieve it for 2024 the next goal I have for health and wellness is I am going to try therapy again I haven't done therapy in years at this point when I did have therapy regularly scheduled I found it so helpful for me I have a complicated relationship with therapy but I know how much it can benefit everyone if you have the opportunity to be able to go to therapy that might be once a month for someone or it could be bi-weekly obviously there's costs associated with going to therapy as well but I would love to at least try again and give it a fair chance now moving into personal and lifestyle the first goal that I'm going to set is I will play guitar at least once a week in 2024 before picking up the guitar again only in the last few weeks I hadn't played for years like I said I'd love to make it a part of my routine I already look forward to playing when I do play but I don't want it to come and go because I feel like it's easy to make excuses to not make time for things like this I'm going to put it as a goal and try to play at least once a week the next goal for this category is also hobby related I want to read 12 books in 2024 I know I already read 12 books in 2023 and that was within a very condensed amount of time but because I feel like I have this typ type of Personality where I get super excited and obsessed over things in the moment and then I can just completely forget about it I don't want to overshoot for too many books because if for whatever reason things happen in life I get busy I may not have time for it I feel a book a month is pretty reasonable based off of my reading Pace the only reason I read so fast this past year is because I was binging books but I don't think binging books is always the healthiest either so a moderate pace of one book a month should be pretty manageable moving into finances the first goal is to consistently track my monthly budgeting I've created multiple budgets before and if I'm being honest I have not been very good with tracking it since I have stopped working I've been a lot more attentive to my spending because obviously my finances are very different and I think it's taught me a lot about managing my discretionary spending trying to reduce that and I'd love to keep this habit and actually do this on a monthly basis and just really have a better handle on it my last goal for finance save at least 20% of my income in a way this kind of goes back to the goal I had the year before which was 20% in 2022 my ideal would probably be more around 20 to 25% I'm going to put 20 to 25% actually it's really just going to depend on what I feel more comfortable with but having some sort of number to remind myself will make sure that I am contributing towards this 20 to 25% as I'm doing my monthly budgeting and last but not least my content goals the first few are number focused as much as I try to not get caught up in the numbers they are an aspect of YouTube and social media it's something that I can actually measure against but I also don't want to stress myself out over it so take these with a grain of salt because that's how I'm going to take them the first is reach 35,000 subscribers I played with this number in my head a lot and a lot of things have changed and happened on my channel so it's really hard to predict if something might blow up again or maybe I'll have a really really slow month and I'm just basing this off of what I think is realistic which is still 10,000 subscribers so I'm going to put 35,000 based off of where I'm currently at I am super grateful that I've been able to continue growing if it ends up being more or less I don't want to let myself get stressed out over it the next goal that I have upload one podcast episode every week if you guys don't already know I do have a podcast class it is called nothing really matters I will have the links in the description but I just started it about a month ago as I'm recording this video so it is pretty fresh the goal here is to just approach it the same way I did when I started making videos on this channel give myself a year to stay committed for an episode every week see what happens I'm hoping that I will continue to love the process which I have been so far so make sure to check it out if you haven't yet the next goal is I would love to pitch to a brand that that I want to work with what I mean by that is within the sponsorships and the brand collaborations that I've done a lot of that actually no all of them have been through Brands reaching out to me which is amazing and I am so grateful for them to even notice me and want to work with me I like to challenge myself to try to pitch to a brand I think there's something different about figuring out how to present yourself to a brand and putting together a media kid which I have yet to do so all of that I love to go through the experience of the very last goal is focus on content that I'm passionate about I think that goes back to the picture that I have on the right hand side of be yourself what I'm starting to realize is I love making videos and I love the process of it and I want to keep it that way especially when it's a video idea that I'm excited about I just feel like that's important to keep in mind not be swayed by things that might be trending or things that might get more views I think having this here is a good reminder for myself and something that I want to stay true to and hold myself to for 2024 all right guys I feel like I've talked forever but this was so much fun to just look back at everything that's happened this past year I will end on this note even though it is going to be January or it is January when you're watching this that doesn't mean that this is the only time to set goals there were goals that I set last year that were Midway through the year and that's okay and I want to give myself that opportunity to in 2024 I love to know from you guys if you have any goals in mind for 2024 or if there were any special moments that you've reflected on that happened this past year with that thank you guys so much for watching make sure to like this video If you haven't yet and just subscribe for more videos and I'll see you guys next time
