MY Best Year Yet

I recently ran a workshop on setting writing goals for 2022 and I thought I might share this with you all.

I have found this so useful in the past. The questions are adapted from a book, My Best Year Yet by Jenny Ditzler.

You can complete it and stick it on your wall or make it into a screenshot or your screensaver.

Good Luck!

Here are the questions:

Please start by looking back on your past year and then start thinking about the upcoming year:

 
1. What did I accomplish this year that I didn’t last year in terms of my writing?

 2. What were my biggest disappointments?

 3. What did I learn from these disappointments and what did I learn about my writing ability in general that I didn’t know before?

 4. How do I limit myself, and how can I stop?

 5. What are my personal values in terms of writing? What am I prepared to commit to in 2022 in terms of protected writing time?

 6. What was my biggest achievement this year?

7. Which goal is my major focus for the next year?

 8. Are there any other smaller milestones I can put in place to achieve before the ‘big’ goal?

 9. How can I make sure I achieve this goal?

 10. How have I grown as a writer this year? What can I do now that I couldn’t do previously?
