Annual Career Planning Strategy: Reflect, Plan, and Achieve in 2025
Happy New Year! In this episode, I take you through my comprehensive strategy for annual career planning. We start by reflecting on achievements from 2024, followed by a journaling exercise where you write letters to your future self for one, three, and five years out. I guide you through breaking down these goals into manageable milestones and mini-milestones, translating them into SMART goals, and then seeking feedback from a mentor or supervisor. Learn about effective time blocking, the importance of community support, and creating systems that seamlessly integrate into your life. Stay tuned for a free Notion template packed with AI tools to help streamline your planning process.
