Make 2022 your year Holistically speaking, a multifaceted approach will give you the balance and wellbeing that you need to stay the course. Here are 10 holistic steps to make 2022 your year: 10. Get Organized: If you use your digital calendar and notepad for work, but you never take the time to look at it or review it, suck it up and buy a high-quality notebook planner. If it was good enough for Ben Franklin, it might just work for you. 9. Set Intentions: Aside from goals and task planning, name your intention for the year and practice visualizing it every morning for at least a couple minutes. 8. Be Consistent: What’s lacking in your routine? Family time, social time, fitness, spiritual or personal development? Pinpoint it and do some time-blocking on your monthly calendar so that you're well-rounded. You’ll see the difference in your productivity and outlook.

7. Pre-plan as much as possible as soon as possible. 6. Be proactive and diverse in networking. People tend to get comfortable and stick with a tight circle of influence. What happens when your needs can’t be met there? Actively pursue new relationships and connections and treat them with respect. 5. Want respect? Give respect. How do you feel about the person who looks at their phone or responds to emails or messages during your business meetings? They feel the same way about you. Not only is distraction a big red flag of disorganization and lack of discipline, but it rapidly disintegrates respect in a working relationship. Treat people well and keep your focus on the task at hand at all times. 4. Create systems and procedures where there is repetition in your routine. 3. Put your money where your mouth is. Own a local restaurant or shop? Shop and eat local. Sell Teslas? Drive a Tesla. Authenticity is powerful. 2. Be intentional with personal development and care. Without a plan, it’s tough to fit it all in—workouts, meditation, community, hobbies. But it’s impossible to fit it all in when you are sitting in a hospital bed because you let yourself go and didn’t manage your stress. Make time for health so that your body has your back.

1. Be present. Science affirms what monks have known for centuries: you only have now. Squeeze every bit of joy out of your days and live fully in the present and you’ll see everything else fall into play. Elevated emotion, prayer, appreciation, and wellness fast track success.
