Whether it is a journal or a friend, the simple action of writing your goals down, brings you one step closer to achieving them. In this journal you can jot down your goals and how many days in each week you'd like to complete them. They are separated out by 5 categories. Having a buddy is a helpful way to be accountable. If you're comfortable sharing, find a buddy and do this weekly together. There are some mindful questions to visit at the end of the week. This book is a blend of a guided journal and weekly planner for success in any area of your life.

Here is how this book came about: During the pandemic in 2020, I began sharing my weekly goals with a friend across the ocean. I was in New Zealand, and he was on Kauai in Hawaii. We shared photos of our weekly goals and a recap of how our previous week went. Sometimes we would connect on the phone, other times via text. It really helped me to be accountable for my goals, but also to see what I had avoided. Did my goal or habit have purpose? Was it simple enough that I could be successful? I found that breaking down the steps for bigger goals across my week or month really helped me tackle the bigger projects. Sometimes the goal would be to make a new habit, other times to break an old habit. What I find refreshing is that you get to start over each week.
I ended up designing an accountability worksheet for my friends to use. Many of them asked me if I could turn this into a book. This inspired me to put it together as a 54-week journal. Here are some ideas of how you could use this journal:
