This guide changed how I approach year-end journaling. The five-phase framework helped me uncover patterns I never noticed before. It’s more than review it’s transformation. Super practical, yet deeply personal. I feel clear, grounded, and ready for the new year. A must-have for any serious journaler or personal growth fan.

Brilliant and beautifully structured. This isn’t just a journaling book it’s a true reflection system. The prompts and phases helped me make sense of a chaotic year. I’ve never ended a year with so much clarity and purpose. Highly recommend for anyone wanting meaningful closure and intentional planning.
