What is an Intention?
At the very basic level, an intention is like sending out a wish or desire to the Universe. When you set an intention, it is done with an inner knowing that it will manifest when you are ready and open to receive. It’s critical that you trust the process — you must trust what you desire will come to fruition.
Read this blog post to learn more about intention setting, plus examples.
What about Manifestation?
Intention setting plays a pivotal role in manifestation. The entire concept of manifestation is beyond what we’re talking about here. So, let’s go with a simplified version…
Manifestation is taking a thought, dream, or idea and creating a material result. For example, you had an idea that you wanted to write a book. When that book comes to life, it results from intentions leading you to manifest the dream into reality. In other words, intentions bridge the gap between thought and manifesting your desires.

Ordering your intention setting
Here is an important part. Creating your annual intentions first is the best approach. The ideal order goes as follows: Yearly > Quarterly > Monthly > Daily. This way, you are certain your daily intentions are in alignment with what you want to accomplish throughout the whole year. Following this format will ensure success in achieving your New Year intentions.

Intention Setting Printable PDF Workbook
If you’re the type of person who loves to put pen to paper, you are in luck! I’ve created a printable PDF version of the Journaling Intentions Workbook for you. This way, it can be more of a guided journal to use as a roadmap.
When you get your free copy of this workbook, you’ll see it is very similar to the Notion template. But, you it’s printer friendly — allowing you to set your intentions in peace without worrying about notifications distracting you.
Using this Intention Setting Printable Tool
The printable workbook includes directions to help you get the most out of it. The best feature is the ability to streamline your process by using the templates provided. There are five templates included: Daily, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly intentions, plus a 6-mo Check-in.
As you think through the intentions, it’s helpful to consider the following categories of life:
- Health & fitness
- Career, work, or school
- Family & community
- Spirituality & personal growth
- Environment
- Fun
- Love
- Finances
You might recognize these categories as commonly included in the Wheel of Life. If so, you’d be correct! In the printable intention setting template, you’ll find a copy of this to fill in. If you are using the Notion template, you’ll find a printable and digital Wheel of Life. Plus, you can use the pre-built database to track your progress.
Pro-tip: When using a printed copy of the Wheel of Life, write the date on it and add a calendar event to complete it again in 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months from now. This will give a (mostly) objective view of your life’s progress and change over the past year. To make your life easier, save a link to this blog post in your calendar so you don’t have to look for it each time.

Level-up Your Follow-up Game
To make the most of your intention setting practice, it’s important to re-visit your intentions (and Wheel of Life) at regular intervals — monthly, quarterly, half way through the year, and annually. To help you with this, I’ve taken the time to create an Intention Check-in calendar to sync with YOUR calendar. This way, it’s just a matter of a few clicks to seamlessly add reminders to your calendar!!
Why the calendar feed? I did this to help out my fellow ADHDers who might struggle with the execution, or anyone who wants to streamline tasks. By creating this calendar for you, it helps you to provide the steps needed to set intentions. And, removes guesswork from the process so you can focus on the follow through.
Add this Intention Setting Google Calendar to your personal calendar. This will auto-populate calendar events to remind you to check in with your intentions — monthly, quarterly, and annually. Now, that is efficiency!
More than Just Calendar Reminders for Following-up
When you add the Intention Check-in Calendar to your calendar, you’ll find MORE than just a reminder. Each calendar event includes a list of questions for you to consider as you reflect on the past and you look to the future. Each calendar event type has different prompts or questions; types include monthly, quarterly, annual and halfway through the year. Bonus, you’ll also find resources to help you stay on track with your intentions and keep them organized.
Don’t Forget your Calendar Reminders
Before you head out, don’t forget to add the Intention Check-in calendar to your calendar.
