How To Plan and Set Goals For 2026

The new year has arrived, and I’m excited to share my planning method. For the past two years, I’ve used this process to manifest tremendous success in my life. If you’re reading this, I encourage you to follow this method exactly as written — your success depends on it.

Before we begin, grab a notebook so you can take notes as you read. This method takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the person.

Step 1: Choose Your Journal

Purchase a journal with 100–300 pages.

Step 2: Write a Dedication

On the inside of the front cover, write a dedication. This sets the intention for the entire journal.

Example dedication:

“This journal is dedicated to my 2026 goals and manifestations. The words I write here will come true. I believe it. I will achieve it. This I know.”

Step 3: Set Your Intention Format

Every entry in the journal must begin with the phrase:
“I intend to…”

Step 4: Visualize Your Intentions

On the back of every page, draw a picture representing the intentions written on the front. These drawings don’t need to be perfect—what matters is that they clearly represent your vision.

Step 5: Monthly Intentions

You will write 10 intentions for each month of the year.

Once your dedication is complete, turn to the first page of your journal and title it January, as it is the first month of the year. Write ten things you intend to accomplish that month. On the back of the page, draw what those intentions look like in real life.

Example intention:

“I intend to read a book from my reading list.”

After writing the remaining nine intentions, I drew an image on the back of the page showing myself reading, along with visual representations of the other goals I set for that month.

Now that you understand the method, it’s time to begin.

Remember, it’s okay to include both big goals and small goals. Everything you write and draw carries immense power, so be intentional—only write what you truly want to bring into your life.

Once you’ve finished, place your journal somewhere you can see and check it often. This will help you stay focused and aligned throughout the year. If you signed up for my accountability chat @ tavariusfelton on IG , I’ll also be checking in on your goals and progress along the way.

Get ready to achieve everything you wrote down—you deserve it. ✨
