2026 reflection and 2027 planning

YearCompass 2027 starts with an honest look at 2026.

Take ten quiet minutes to notice what your year held. Then decide what you want to carry into 2027.

Start the 10-minute reflection

Waypoints is an independent app, not affiliated with YearCompass.

Two ways forward

Use the booklet now. Keep an eye on Waypoints for later.

The official YearCompass booklet is the place to go if you want a complete, free guided session today. It offers standard and digital formats on its own website.

Waypoints plans to launch in December 2026 for iPhone and iPad. That is Waypoints' planned schedule, not an official YearCompass release date or partnership announcement.

A short reflection starter

Close 2026 in ten minutes.

Grab a note, set a timer, and write without editing. These prompts are a small starting point, not a substitute for the official booklet.

  1. 01

    What am I quietly proud of from 2026?

    Choose something that may not have looked impressive from the outside, but changed you or someone close to you.

  2. 02

    Where did my time actually go?

    Look at a calendar, photos, messages, or bank statement. Memory gives the loud moments too much credit.

  3. 03

    What did I learn the hard way?

    Name the lesson in a sentence you would want to remember when life gets busy again.

  4. 04

    What deserves more room in 2027?

    Pick one relationship, practice, place, or kind of work. Give it a small, concrete first step.

One final line

Complete this sentence: “By the end of 2027, I want to be able to say I made room for ________.”
