Goal Ideas for 2024

With a plan to improve our lives in 2024, I have pulled together 100 goal ideas to work towards in 2024.

This is the best time of year to represent a page turn in book that is our lives and as I like to often say “Start as you mean to go on” How to plan a super successful year

Goal setting is truly my vibe, from the micro to the macro, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly etc. I’m here for it all (My brain truly stays busy). I love the process of evolution and stay in a space of seeking new ways to grow and challenge myself.

The end of the year/start of the new year is an exciting transition window that we can embrace every twelve months. It’s like a great reset, a time to take stock, get a grip and take back control (should you have lost control in the mix of the everyday living, surviving, existing, pushing through).

I’m often asked how I achieve so many things, along with questions of where the inspiration and ideas for what I’m achieving come from. And then the manifestation came to me to put together a template that I could share and help others: a list of goal ideas. 

Here is a list of 100 goal ideas to get started on now that we are at the top of the new year (note that trying to do all 100 may be seriously intense and overwhelming, therefore use this as an ideas pool to choose from rather than burning yourself out doing it all).

The list is organised into 10 areas of your life, with ideas for each! Venture through the list and take from it what resonates with you and is your vibe, leaving the rest. Let’s nurture this into an incredible year.
