Learning and knowing yourself is a goal in itself, every year of our lives, and that’s what I try to do every year, at the very least and I always try to do the best I can and help as many people as I can and I feel like all these things are huge accomplishments that don’t always necessarily require planning, thankfully, lol

[@JennaHong]

YES absolutely, we grow more and more every year and each day is another chance to be even just 1% better.

[@stephanietchou6292]

Stop this crazy planning, people!!! 😁 One day at a time 🙂

[@mariadesolsanchez3263]

Planning keeps us well organized!!! It's done for many reasons and keeps us on point if it doesn't work for you than don't do it.

[@MyRootedSoul]

THANK YOU for this video! I'm feeling the pressure to start 2023 planning but really just want one more week to enjoy the holidays. And even so, I've been doing reading/podcast listening lately about how winter is naturally a fallow season and is meant to be slow and reflective. New years can be a fresh start, but it doesn't mean we have to go from 0 to 100. No shame in a slow, gradual build.

[@JennaHong]

I love this ❤️ NO shame in a gradual build, the videos on KZbin were definitely getting to the best of me so I wanted to spread some slow and in progress kind of vlog 🥰 happy you enjoyed it

[@SamanthaTwist]

That is so valid! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@mercedes4302]

I just want to get back into a routine. I use to wake up at 545, hit Orange Theory 615, shower and work at 8am -5pm. I was mentally sound. Then xyandz happened. I wanna get back into a routine, do I have to workout everyday? NO. Will there be days when routine isn’t followed? YES. However, I overall wanna establish something, and take more trips for MYSELF. Not just work trips. So for 2023 I’m adding back

[@JennaHong]

It is a journey ❤️ and won’t happen right away for sure. We’ve got this! In it together

[@lydiaedgewater3854]

I love this so much as a project manager, being so involved with work and being a single parent! Thank you so much for being real about the pressures of goal setting it can become very toxic very quickly.

[@JennaHong]

Thank you❤️ hope this encouraged you to take your time as you need to

[@truecollar9059]

Watching this is literally a breath of fresh air ❤ I totally relate to all of the content being so early, this was really calming!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you❤️

[@taylorr.w.562]

That moment of you & Thomas made my heart smile! You all actually remind me of myself & my partner-I get super giddy about little things too, Jenna! 💕

[@JennaHong]

Omg thank you 🥹💗 im so happy you noticed it 🥰

[@Amina-rg7wi]

I relate to u so much Jennnyy!! 😘 I feel like with the new year resolution it’s always chasing the next big thing and I feel like that can be draining. So my goal is to just focus on me my health and what I love. Ppl can be feeling overwhelmed with what everyone is doing but we have remind ourselves that everyone’s journey is and will always be different. I heard this quote before:’the problem is that we think we have time’ tomorrow is never guaranteed so focusing on now and slowing down to appreciate what we have is important 🤎🫶🏽🤎 love from London 🥰

[@JennaHong]

I love this ❤️‍🔥 just focus on your health and what you love and yourself. Thank you for sharing 🥰 it’s true, tomorrow is never guaranteed

[@EmmaPerezable]

Yes! That was the bullet journal. The reason I started watching you. I miss that!

[@JennaHong]

Omg YAY wait that makes me so happy🥹 I’ll make spreads for sure more next year 🥰

[@CrisTryingToBeProductive]

I started my vacations today, while relaxing I want to put in motion healthy habits, plan my year in a global way, then plan a semester, the first quater and down to January. I want to stop holding things in my mind so a physical planner, notion, track apps and a lot of reminders hope that do the trick.

[@JennaHong]

I love that routine, it’s all different for everyone I get it’s hard to know initially too🥰

[@CrisTryingToBeProductive]

@@JennaHong I've done the mistake of overwhelming myself with planning and not doing the things I plan, so I need to find a way to keep things simple and visible

[@avneet2.0]

Watching you colour made me realize I need to add something like that to my weekly routine. It's honestly so relaxing! Hope you're enjoying your week off btw :)

[@JennaHong]

YESSSS I loved coloring omg it was like taking a walk, something good for my body / soul while also being able to pay attention to a podcast🥹

[@BrielleJuliet]

Ugh Jenna this was so refreshing. When I started seeing new years videos pop up WEEKS ago I was like ?!?!? No hate to those creators at all obviously but I couldn’t help to feel behind and overwhelmed at the prospect of planning for the new year. This video was such a comfort and made me excited for 2023!! Happy holidays ❤❤❤

[@JennaHong]

You’re not alone ily 🥹💕 I totally am here for you. There’s no perfect time or speed

[@HolisticAccountant]

Love this video! Excited to see your 2023 morning routine as a fellow corporate and accounting girlie. I really resonate with the 2023 is my year because I have SUCH a good feeling about it! Thank you for showing us that notion isn’t so scary, I love the breakdown of goals and intentions! The intention to keep top of mind is such a good idea! Thank you for sharing your process with us! It’s definitely easy to get overwhelmed by everyone’s 2023 plan but love that you walked us through the process in real time❤ another great video! Enjoy your week off with family and excited for 2023!!!!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you 🥹 I have a good feeling about it too. Im so glad this mid progress video resonated, it helped me so much to film it honestly 🥰 happy almost new year!

[@stephanietchou6292]

I usually don’t plan the new year and especially this year, right now, I’m a bit tired after the holidays (I vacationed in Rio 😁 and worked out and certainly didn’t sleep enough) so I’m realizing that it’s actually a great idea to start the new year with one or two weeks dedicated to relaxing and withdrawing instead of rushing and planning so you can be better off by mid-January when other people will have given up on all their plans! 😋

[@JennaHong]

YES take the time you need❤️ social media adds pressure so just want to encourage you to do your goals and planning on your own time 🥹

[@taw3256]

Love your planning system for the new year! I’m someone who also enjoys physical and digital planning so I loved how you are incorporating both. Can’t wait to see the full notion tour next year! Would also love to have a template of your notion if you create a system that works for you

[@JennaHong]

YESSS both is my sweet spot too if I’m all in on one method of planning, it just makes me miss the other! Yes I’m making a simple, beginners friendly template while I’m on break this week 🥰

[@ItsAmandaWan]

forever obsessed with your bullet journalling segments

[@JennaHong]

ILYYY AMANDA 😭💕

[@mish1020]

Enjoyed your vlog! Working the bullet journal is so relaxing. I colored in it the minute i got it lol.

[@JennaHong]

It is SO relaxing 🥰💗

[@MissieK]

Love your notion so far! When I first started I panicked to be honest. But I still use my bullet journal for daily planning/ mood tracking and habits. Notion is good for yearly, monthly and to dump random things that you need to keep somewhere but don't know where (like plant care or recipes etc) I am really looking forward for your content in 2023!

[@JennaHong]

YESSS I’m actually so pumped to use this for big plans and my planner for more daily daily things like the habit and mood tracker and to do lists 🥹 a bit of both!

[@ZoeysMusings]

I'm totally for being present in 2023 versus always chasing after goals or the next thing to tick off my checklist. I love that colouring will be self-care for you. 🥰 I'm so glad you also feel like Notion is so hard because same 😩☠️but next year we'll get it lol Your Notion is so aesthetic and functional. I'm here for the hybrid planning and doing what works for you 🙌🏽I love the idea of a word vision board.

[@JennaHong]

I loveeee everything so far I’m excited to finish it all up. Thank you zoey 🥹🎄 merry Christmas!!

[@jeannelle_]

I’m still adding some stuff to my Notion! This was motivating to keep working on my plans for 2023 👏🏽

[@JennaHong]

I loveeee that it’s to customizable at any time and it will look so clean

[@SamanthaTwist]

I want to use it so bad but I just can’t figure it out & it’s been 3 years 😅 it never looks cute and I want to use it for goals & content planning & maybe to do’s

[@heyyitssj]

I love notion! Highly recommend - I’m using it for my 2023 goals and it makes me feel so organized

[@JennaHong]

Definitely a learning curve but the more time I spend on it the more I get it🥹❤️
