“It’s really easy to slip from one year into the next without truly realizing it. There’s always something to do, some new task to complete. YearCompass helps me to slow down and experience the start of the new year. With it, I can stop for a beat and see if I like the direction where I’m heading.”
“I had difficulties verbalizing my needs, what I want out of a situation. For a long time, I defined myself through the lens of others. YearCompass gently forced me to face myself and honestly answer how I want my life to go.”
“From the whole »set goals, break it down to tasks, execute them« approach, for me, only the first step worked ever. Planning is not really my forte—knowing where I want to go is enough; I’ll improvise on my way there. What YearCompass changed for me is that I no longer doubt myself because of this. When I see the booklet stuffed with fulfilled goals and cherished experiences, it’s much easier to say that »yeah, I’m a spontaneous woman, and that’s okay.«”
“My favorite part is the calendar review. I always run out of space on that page! I think I like it the most because if someone would come up to me and ask about my year, I could maybe list the five most important things that happened to me. But with YearCompass, I can see everything.”
“Look, If I can plan, I can sleep soundly. It’s that easy.”
