NAIL your 2026 Planning

Happy New Year to you dear listener! Have you ever felt that familiar January anxiety either because you’re feeling guilty that you don’t have a perfect set of goals for the new year or because you’re second-guessing if your goals are ambitious enough, structured enough, or even the right ones? If that’s you then this episode is for you. (Happens to us every year!) They say it takes one to know one 😂so as 2026 began, we both wanted to help ourselves (and hopefully help you too) get the year off to a great start. We got busy on our laptops and in this episode, we share our personal experiments where we used AI to reflect on 2025, as well as help us set meaningful goals for the year ahead. We road-tested ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. The results were super interesting . . . and helpful. One model delivered a remarkably accurate summary of Greta's entire year (likely because she'd used it most consistently), while another coached Claire through building a custom Project that will track her goals throughout 2026. In this episode we discuss: The tension between letting AI lead your thinking versus using it as a thought partner How to set up an AI project (or GPT, Gem etc.) that coaches you through goal-setting How you can quickly create vision boards and mind maps, and . . . How AI may just change how you frame and think about your entire year. Whether you're a seasoned AI user or just getting started, listen now for practical approaches you can try out right away. Wishing you an intentional, productive and fulfilling 2026!
