New Year Planner Fillable PDF | Printable Year-End Review Workbook & Goal Setting Journal, 36 Pages, 18 Worksheets

Seller's description

Close the year with clarity and start the next one on purpose — this 36-page fillable workbook with 205 fields and 18 worksheets pairs an annual review with fresh goal setting.

Type on any device or print at home. Instant digital download — no physical item will be shipped.

Grounded in real psychology: expressive-writing research (writing to make sense of your year), self-compassion practices (facing the hard parts without shame), the Plus/Delta method (structured keep/change analysis), and WOOP mental contrasting (goal-setting that accounts for obstacles). No fluff, no hustle-culture pressure — just a calm, structured space to close one chapter and begin the next.

About this guide
Written and designed by Kevin P. Bilder, M.Ed., creator of Life Guides & Templates. Kevin brings 25+ years of leadership in higher education, and every guide in this shop is his own original work — planned, written, and finalized by him, drawn from that experience. Nothing here is generated by a bot, bought for resale, or produced by anyone else. Production note: digital tools, including AI-assisted tools, were used for drafting support, editing, and layout. The guide's content, structure, and final wording are Kevin's own, and he reviews and approves every page before it is published. This is a fillable PDF workbook: type directly into the fields on any device, or print it and write by hand.
