Every January, millions of smart and motivated people set their goals, and 92% of them will fail. A better year isn't something you wait for, it's something you design a system for. I built Year Designed, a free digital version of Daniel Pink's planning workbook with key techniques from Tim Ferriss and Chris Williamson baked in. Most planning workbooks give you a blank page, but Daniel Pink's framework is different. It provides exercises that reveal your truth and then builds systems around to support it. Start with identity snapshot, 3 words that describe you at your best, and then define what helps you get to your best.

Then a quick past year review Tim Ferriss style, your biggest wins and regrets, because regret isn't weakness, it's an instruction on what to change. Then define 3 measurable wins. Run a pre-mortem on each one of them, identifying how you will fail before you do. Choose a theme word, your compass for the year, and then design friction, Chris Williamson's method for making good habits easier and bad ones harder. When you're done, download your complete plan as a document, set up calendar reminders for weekly reviews or quarterly check-ins if you want, and get a generated AI wallpaper featuring your theme word and commitments so your plan shows up every time you unlock your phone.

Here's the key: one-click export your plan Claw, ChatGPT, Gemini, or your favorite LLM. Use it as an accountability partner all year, someone who actually remembers what you said you wanted. It's free, no account, fully private. Your data stays in your browser only. While your plans might also fail, having systems and direction in place helps. Like Eisenhower said, plans are useless, but planning is everything. Check out yeardesign.com, and I hope you'll find it useful.
