Question 1

What is a New Year reset routine and how do you do it?

Accepted Answer

For me, a New Year reset is cleaning and organizing my space first, then sitting down to set goals and get clear on what I want the year to look like. I like to make it realistic — I’m not trying to change my whole life in one day. The biggest takeaway is that a reset is both home + mindset, not just cleaning.

Question 2

How do you make a vision board for the new year?

Accepted Answer

I like to start with Pinterest and save images that match the vibe I want for the year — home, routines, style, wellness, all of it. Then I pull it together into a vision board so it’s something I can actually look at and feel inspired by. It’s less about being perfect and more about keeping my goals visible.

Question 3

What goals do you set for a new year reset?

Accepted Answer

I focus on goals that support my day-to-day life — habits, routines, and the way I want to feel throughout the year. I also like using a planner and a wellness journal so it’s not just a list in my notes app that I forget about. The goal is consistency, not doing everything at once.

Question 4

How do you stay motivated to clean and organize after the holidays?

Accepted Answer

I start with a simple reset and build momentum — once one area is done, I feel motivated to keep going. I also make it cozy and enjoyable (coffee helps), so it doesn’t feel like punishment. A clean space genuinely makes me feel more calm and productive.

Question 5

What are your favorite self-care ideas for a New Year reset?

Accepted Answer

I always include self-care alongside the cleaning and goal setting, because otherwise I burn out. For me, self-care is the realistic stuff: taking care of my body, doing my maintenance, and giving myself a slower moment in the day. It’s about starting the year feeling taken care of.

Question 6

What planner and journal do you use for goal setting?

Accepted Answer

I use a Papier planner and I also like having a wellness journal to track routines and how I’m feeling. Having it written down keeps me way more intentional. It’s also a nice way to check in with myself as the year goes on.

Question 7

What books do you recommend for habits and mindset?

Accepted Answer

I mentioned a few that are great for mindset and habit-building: "Atomic Habits," "Don't Believe Everything You Think," and "The Art of Letting Go." I like books that feel practical and grounding, especially at the start of a new year. They help me refocus without spiraling into perfectionism.
