Last year, honestly.
The twelve months you've just had, looked at properly, before you decide anything about the next twelve.
Most planning starts with a list of new things to do. This starts with an honest look at the year you've actually had: what went right, what didn't, and the one thing you kept doing that you probably shouldn't have. It's a three-page worksheet you can fill in from memory at the kitchen table in about twenty minutes. Nobody sees it but you.
I've emailed you a copy as well, but you don't need to wait for it. Print it, find a pen, and give it twenty minutes somewhere quiet. Answer from memory; you don't need to open your booking system.

What it asks you
- The year in one line, written fast
- Three things that went right, and three that didn't
- What you set out to do this time last year, and whether you did it
- The thing you kept doing
- Where your time actually went
- Your numbers, if you have them. If you don't, that's fine.
