My goals for 2025

Hey reader,

What goals are you hoping to achieve this year? More importantly, what’s your plan to make them happen?

I’m a big fan of using Notion to jot down my goals and action steps on January 1st. To stay on track, I revisit them every month, moving things around if they no longer feel right. I like to split my goals into categories like work, business, finances, and even home (because yes, home improvement totally deserves its own section). Here’s a sneak peek at some of mine for 2025:

👔 Career

I’m interviewing for design roles and hoping to land a job by Q1. My goal is to work as a senior product designer for a while before planning my next steps.

📈 Investments

This year, I’m aiming to invest £20k into my ISA and another £20k in 2025/2026. If I keep maxing it out, I could start taking dividends in 10 years and work toward early retirement. On top of that, I’m planning to invest 40% of my savings into property!

💻 Small Biz

The last couple of years weren’t the best for my business, but I’m ready to rebuild. I’d love to launch a community for women in UX to foster real connections and collaboration. I also want to create and sell a digital product that’s genuinely valuable for this group.

✈️ Travel

I’m all about more travel in 2025! I want to visit Italy at least three times and (finally) have my honeymoon. Top contenders are Thailand, Greece, Portugal, and Puerto Rico. Oh, and I’m planning a return trip to the Canary Islands in November, cuz those flight deals are too good to pass up! 

What about you? What are your goals for 2025?

All the best,

Sara
