As we progressed through January several people asked about my New Year resolution. And I must confess I was deliberately cryptic – “it’s big and it’s going to take a while” was about all I’d share. The truth is, this isn’t a resolution in the traditional sense. It’s multi-year, it’s transformational and it has a specific end date and a comprehensive set of outcomes. It even now has a name: Project 64. Along with a name goes a fully formed V2MOM to keep me aligned and on track.

Every December 31st, the conversation at our dinner table will at some point turn to resolutions. The eye-rolling is predictable. The reasons are fair:
❌ “They never last.” Most resolutions fade by February because they’re too ambitious or lack a clear plan.
❌ “Life gets in the way.” Unexpected challenges and competing priorities derail good intentions.
❌ “They feel like pressure, not progress.” When goals feel forced, they become a burden rather than an opportunity.
I get it. I’ve been that person. But This Year Feels Different.

“What if you’re in full-time work and your weeks are mostly fixed?”
That sparked something bigger: perhaps what’s also needed is a Monthly Rhythm Template. A tool that helps zoom out, notice what’s needed, and bring intentionality to a longer stretch of time.

There are lots of books out there that talk about living with purpose, but sometimes it’s hard to name what your individual purpose actually is. Before setting goals or making big life changes, it helps to pause and ask: What really matters to me?
It’s a surprisingly tough question — especially in a world that’s always rushing us toward the next thing. But if we want to live intentionally, especially in retirement or during a life reset, we need to slow down and get clear on what drives us at a deeper level.
That’s where the Personal Values Discovery Worksheet comes in.
