#20 - How to Map Out a Great Art Year

In our first episode of 2023, we share our thoughts on planning, and we channel all of our organizational energy into helping you map out a great year ahead! Join us for Episode #20 of the Thriving Artist, Podcast, How to Map Out a Great Year as we share four steps to set our compass and be intentional and achieve our goals in 2023. If we know where we are going, we can make a plan to get there. Join along and get started mapping out a great year! Jamie and Kaylan’s 4 steps for mapping out a great year are: Set your Compass: Identify what is important to you, what your intentions are for your year, how you want to feel, and what you want to accomplish. This will be your guide to goal setting and making to-do lists! Identify your Don’ts and your No’s: Sometimes we just know in our gut what doesn’t feel right for us, even when we aren’t sure what DOES feel good. Identify that healthy knowledge so you can use it to steer your ship and map out a great art year! Goal Set by Quarter: We think goal planning is best done 3 months at a time. You may have a goal that will take you 1 year to accomplish, but break down that goal into parts or smaller goals you will accomplish by quarter. Head into the year with this quarterly mindset! Book check-ins: Make time for yourself to check-in and asseses throughout your day, week, month, and year. We are more impactful when we are deeply rooted in our intentions through checking in and assessing, re-directing, or celebrating what we are doing. We would LOVE to spend the year cheering you on and supporting you as a member of our community.
