The 2027 Best Version
of You Reset
Before you set another goal, look back.
Most people already know they are capable of more. What usually gets in the way is not a lack of goals, it is that we write a new list every January without stopping to learn anything from the year we just lived. This is not another long list of resolutions.
In about ten minutes, you will look honestly at what 2026 taught you, decide what matters most in 2027, and leave with one clear action you can start in the next 24 hours.
What did 2026 teach you? What worked, what did not, and where did your time actually go?
What deserves more of you in 2027, and what do you need to say no to so you can make room for it?
One specific action, one weekly habit, and one step you can take before this time tomorrow.
What did 2026 teach you?
Answer honestly, and do not worry about writing well. A few words for each is enough. Reflection is about learning from the year, not reliving it.
Pick the one that sounds most like your year.
The rearview mirror matters, but it was never meant to be where you keep your eyes.
What deserves more of you in 2027?
Not ten things. One. Choosing a single area is what makes the rest of this work, because everything you pick competes for the same hours.
Choose one.
What will you do about it?
Clarity without action changes nothing. Keep these small and specific enough that you would know, at the end of a week, whether you did them.
You don’t need a perfect plan. You need movement.
The person or people who benefit, and why it matters to them.

Give it a date
If you want one more push, take your 24-hour step or your one action to The Promise, put a date on it, and add it to your calendar so it shows up on the day.
The Reset comes from
You Are Capable of More
The 2027 Reset is based on ideas Chris Sund explores in You Are Capable of More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self: the difference between reflecting and reliving, the barriers that keep good people stuck, and why taking the first step matters more than having everything figured out. Every chapter ends with actions you can take that day.
More for the
new year
Chris Sund is a keynote speaker and the bestselling author of You Are Capable of More, which won the How-To category at the 2026 Paris Book Festival. His mission is to help as many people as possible become the best version of themselves. He writes for Forbes and Inc.

When I’ve got something worth sending.
Just a story or an idea I picked up that I think will help you.
Sometimes that’s twice in a month. Sometimes it’s not for a while.
