OBJECTIVES AND PROJECTIONS 2025

At the beginning of 2025, it's time to take stock of the past year and lay the foundations for an ambitious future. Whether you're single or in a relationship, having a clear plan for the coming year will allow you to bring your ideas to life and turn your desires into achievements. In this article, you'll find the key steps to prepare the groundwork, use our planning spreadsheet effectively, and finally, organize a meeting—a time for discussion, if you wish—to align your goals and structure your approach.

Preparing for 2025

Take stock of your year 2024

• Take a moment to share your respective accomplishments and celebrate your successes together.
• Inspire each other: Your partner's victories can bring you new ideas or approaches.

List your goals for the coming year

Now that you've taken stock of 2024, look ahead to 2025:
Write down all the goals that are important to you, big or small.
Don't hold back! Write everything down, even if some ideas still seem vague.

Identify what might be holding you back

Once you have written down your goals, also take a moment to think about the obstacles that could prevent you from going further: procrastination, lack of time, competing priorities, etc.

Why is it essential?
Being aware of your blockages is the first step to avoiding repeating them.
Anticipate solutions now: how could you overcome these obstacles? (better organization, training, delegation, etc.)

Adaptation for the couple

• Share your respective blockages and exchange advice to help each other.
• Support each other: When one encounters a difficulty, the other can offer help or adjust certain things in your daily life.
• Each make your own list, then compare them to see if there are any common projects to group together.
• Some goals may be more motivating or easier to achieve as a couple.

Download your spreadsheet and organize your goals .

Choose your categories

Group your goals into different categories based on your priorities: finances, travel, family, personal development, career, etc. If necessary, create specific categories for specific or shared projects.

Organize your goals by priority
- Update the categories on the main sheet.
- Prioritize your goals under each category.
- Rename each tab to reflect your categories.
- Enter your goals in the corresponding tabs and fill in each column.
- Track and update your progress every two weeks.

Rename your spreadsheet tabs
Create a tab for each category and rename them accordingly (e.g., Finance, Travel, Professional, Personal, etc.). This organization will help you structure your ideas and easily navigate your schedule.

Define each goal

In the corresponding tab, details:
The “why”: What motivates this goal?
Duration: What time frame are you aiming for?
Potential barriers: What obstacles might you encounter?
Steps: Lists the actions needed to succeed.
Resources: What budget, training, or network do you need?

Update regularly
Schedule follow-up points (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) to measure your progress, adjust your goals and stay motivated.

Adaptation for the couple

• Shared spreadsheet: Use a collaborative platform (e.g., Google Sheets) so everyone can update information.
• Task distribution: Divide certain common objectives into subtasks according to each person's skills and availability.

Take action and fully commit

Now that you've prepared your groundwork and completed your spreadsheet, it's time to fully commit to achieving your goals.
Schedule regular checkpoints: Build them directly into your calendar to keep on track.
Celebrate every small victory: Every milestone you reach deserves to be celebrated to keep you motivated.
Stay the course: Remember that this is an ongoing process, not a sprint. Consistency is the key to success.

Adaptation for the couple

• Mutual accountability: Designate yourselves as the “keepers” of certain couple goals to foster cooperation.
• Shared motivation: In times of doubt or fatigue, support and encourage each other to persevere.

Organize a “strategy meeting” to refine your objectives

Once you've completed your assessment and organized your goals, take the time to discuss and refine your priorities. If you're working as a duo, this step is essential for aligning your visions and supporting each other.

Choosing the right time and place

• Set a specific date: Block off a few hours of time, away from distractions.
• Choose an inspiring space: A quiet cafe, a coworking space, or a pleasant setting can boost your thinking and creativity.

Share and discuss

• Express your goals: Explain your ambitions, what motivates you and why these goals are important to you.
• Align your visions: As a duo, identify common projects, identify synergies and ensure you are aligned on your aspirations.

Finalize and commit

• Adjust as needed: Reassign certain priorities based on your interactions.
• Seal your commitment: Sign a “moral pact” with yourself (or your partner) to record these decisions and set regular check-ins.

The benefits of working as a couple

1. Shared vision – Building projects together strengthens complicity and helps align your priorities.
2. Increased Motivation – You encourage each other and multiply your strengths to overcome challenges.
3. Complementarity – Everyone brings their skills, perspective and sensitivity to enrich the approach.
4. Better communication – Discussing your goals becomes an exercise in dialogue and mutual understanding.
