6 Ideas to Plan for a Successful 2022

It’s 2022! A new year and new beginnings — and with new beginnings come new plans and new achievements to accomplish. Be it a relaxing season or a busy year ahead, there’s bound to be lots of planning and things to fulfil. Whether its planning new activities, getting yourself into a healthier lifestyle or saving up for something big, we’ve got some great tips and ideas to help you plan everything out.

1. Make a To-Do List

Grab a pen and start jotting down what you want to focus on this year. Designate your list into categories if you prefer things to be more organised. Whether big or small, this list will be your IT list for the entire year. If it helps, pen it down in your journal or notebook. Having a good quality pen like the Lamy will make writing easier and get your creative ideas flowing. 

2. Plan your activities ahead

Whether it’s your professional or personal activities or both, it is best to not get any of these important dates mixed up or worse, double booking on the same day! And what better way to plan everything down than in your own personal unique Clairefontaine thread-bound notebook. We think it’s the best way to keep all your important plans sorted in a quality notebook.

3. Get organised!

Stick up a wall planner or a monthly wall calendar on your wall, door, on your cupboard or beside your bedroom mirror to view your activities and goals. Use fun and functional stationery like these colourful masking tape sets and custom stamps to decorate your space.

4. New year, new plants!

Getting a new plant may be a new challenge and an exciting one. Keeping a plant at home also makes your home livelier and keeps the air fresh. What’s more, a healthy plant helps you keep focus, and at the end of the year, you’ll see your baby plant flourish and sprout loud and proud. You can even admire your new plant in this stunning Kinto Plant Pot 193. The pot features gentle curves with a lovely glaze that give the pot's finish a distinctive and charming look.

5. Allow for flexibility

Your plans don’t have to be all black and white. Make sure you have some breathing space in between your weeks for physical and mental rest. No more back-to-back scheduling. One of the easiest ways is to plan your days using a weekly planner like the Knock Knock Five Days a Week Keyboard Pad. This way you can sort out your plans and activities weekly without feeling overwhelmed. It’s the perfect way to get organised and super handy because you can easily place it right on your work desk.

6. Save, save, and save!

Set a target to reach your goal by the end of the year. Whether it’s saving up extra money for the rainy day or to spend on your next vacay, having some budget control can take the stress out of it for when you need to spend for later. If you don’t have a designated place to keep your savings, try using this quirky bowling pin skittle money bank. Money banks are a great way to help and keep you motivated to save more!

Now that you’ve got these ideas, we hope you are inspired to start planning and getting organised like a pro. We hope you can achieve all your goals set for the year but even if it does not go as planned, fret not, chin up and start over!
