The guided year planner, in a file you can open tonight.

EVOLVE is a 163-page goal-setting journal built to do the one thing blank agendas never do: plan the planning. It walks you through closing out 2026, defining what actually matters for 2027, and then holds you to it month by month — with prompts grounded in motivation psychology and a structure soft enough that you'll actually want to open it.

This is the digital edition. Download it the moment you buy, then use it however suits you: print the whole thing, print only the pages you'll use, or load it into GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, or any annotation app and write on it with a stylus.

Now in its second edition, rebuilt with a year of reader feedback.

What's inside

Begin here — Author's Note, How to Use This Journal, A Little About Me, Mind Map, Vision Board, and Anatomy of a Good Day.

Reflect & set your year — 25 guided questions on the year behind you, 13 on the year ahead, plus resolution categories, a mood board, one full spread per goal (goal, why, metrics of success, action steps), and a year timeline.

Your tools — Resolution Tracker, Habit Menu, Good Things, Future Me Problems, Year in Review, How to Use Your Month, and a page for when you fall off.

Twelve months, January to December 2027 — each with a Monthly View, Intention Journal, Gratitude Journal, Habit Tracker, and a two-page End of Month Review. Circle of Life appears five times across the year; a three-page Mid-Year Review follows June.

Keep for the whole year — Reading List, Movie List, Travel Board, Memories, Resets, Self-Care Bingo, and Reading Bingo.

Close the year — a closing letter and Notes to Self.

Why this one works

Most habits don't die from lack of motivation. They die because the version you designed only works on your best days. So EVOLVE has you build two: a high bar and a low bar. Read a chapter, or read one page. Run 5k, or put on your shoes and walk to the corner. A check counts either way — showing up is the win.

The monthly Intention Journal does the same for goals. You name what you want, picture it done, name the thing in you most likely to get in the way, and write an if-then plan for the moment it shows up. At the end of the month you check whether the plan held. That loop comes straight from decades of published motivation research, including work I assisted on at NYU's Motivation Research Lab.

And when you skip three weeks — because you will — there's a page for that too. Don't backfill. Don't start over. Turn to today's date and write one line.
