PROJECT OF THE WEEK
It’s the last Thursday in January, which means we’re just about a month into the new year. How are your New Year’s resolutions going?
It’s a question that’s both practical and reflective, and it’s worth asking yourself. Have you taken a little time to pause and think about what’s gone well so far? What’s been harder than you expected?
Sometimes a resolution seems clear and doable in theory, but in practice, it can be a little different. Maybe it’s bigger than you realized. Maybe it doesn’t actually feel meaningful anymore. Or maybe you just need a little tweak to make it more manageable, realistic, and, ultimately, maintainable.
Getting Started
This is the perfect time to reflect: Do you want to refine your resolution into something smaller and more achievable? Is there a way to add accountability to make it stick? Did you set this resolution with one intention, only to realize it’s not actually something you care about?
At Happy Spaces, this is what we love to do. Whether it’s implementing new habits, creating routines that last, or building systems that are sustainable, the goal is the same: making your resolutions truly stick by turning them into real, maintainable habits.
So take a few minutes, check in with yourself, and remember that it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. What small adjustments could help you follow through? How can you make your goals feel supportive instead of stressful?
January isn’t over yet. There’s still time to recalibrate, refine, and recommit in a way that works for you.
Ready to Get Started?
If you're feeling excited about putting this strategy into action and could use a little extra accountability and support, the It’s All in the Planning Starter Pak is here to help! Designed to set you up for success, it’s the perfect tool to keep you on track and moving forward.
Let’s make progress together—because great results start with great planning!
A Note from Happy Spaces
Our goal is simple: to add value to your life. If you think this project will be helpful, here are some steps to set yourself up for success:
Estimate how long it will take—then double it. Giving yourself extra time helps reduce stress.
Schedule it on your calendar for the week ahead. Setting a specific date increases follow-through.
Break it up if it will take more than an hour. Tackling it in smaller steps makes it more manageable.
Make a list of every action needed before you start. A clear plan helps keep you on track.
Do what works for you—you don’t have to complete every part, just what adds value to your life.
Find an Accountability Partner—having support makes it easier to stay committed.
We understand that building new habits and systems can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. For additional support, visit HappySpacesBySarah.com and let’s make organizing and planning easier together.
Creating a life you don't need a vacation from! ®
Sincerely,

I love working with students to develop essential organizational, time management, and study skills. These skills empower them to reach their full potential, build confidence, and create a future they feel good about.
