26 before 2026: Ending the Year With Intention
& a free printable to help! ⭐️
It’s hard to believe, but there are only 52 days left in 2025! If you’re like me, the end of the year often feels chaotic and like you’re being pulled in a million different directions, making it hard to truly savor November and December. It’s also commonly the time of year where I throw in the towel and you’ll find me saying, “Ohhh it can just wait until next year!”
While I can’t necessarily take away the busyness and while some things can/should wait until next year—I do believe that it’s possible to end the year with intention and align it more closely with how you envision it.
Enter 26 before 2026. In the past, I’ve used this printable to declutter (which was great!) But, this year I’m going to use it for things that I need to do, and also things that I want to do (inspired by this video from Karin Nordin) It’s my hope that this encourages me to not put off all the things until 2026, helps me maintain the good habits that I’ve built, AND that it also helps me prioritize all the things that make the season special.
My goal with this printable is never that it adds yet another “thing” to your plate, but that it helps you end the year intentionally by prioritizing what matters most to you in this season. Remember that even if you don’t complete all 26 items, you are still moving the needle, and you’ll end up that much closer to the life you want to be living.
Here are some ideas for using the 26 Before 2026 printable:
Decluttering (spaces, number of items, bags of stuff, etc)
Decluttering…but give it to a family member instead 😉
Small home projects
Nagging tasks (appointments, errands, etc)
Work tasks or goals
Holiday traditions
Crafts to make
Books to read
Holiday movies to watch
Acts of kindness or volunteering
Holiday outings (Santa, Christmas lights, etc)
2025 New Year’s goals that you still want to accomplish!
Recipes that you’d like to bake
I made this open ended so that you can choose how to make it work best for you! However you decide to use it, I hope that it brings some calmness, peace, and joy this holiday season! Click below to download your copy:
