SIMPLIFY: Your Year-Long Companion for Intentional Living
One workbook. Twelve months. A simpler, more intentional life.

You know that feeling when your life is busy  but your soul is empty?

You’re busy—meetings, commitments, obligations, endless tabs open in your brain. But somewhere beneath the noise, there’s a quieter voice asking:

Is this what I actually want? Or have I just said yes to everything until there’s no room left for what matters?

Simplify isn’t another end-of-year reflection journal you’ll complete once and shelve. It’s your year-long companion for living with less clutter and more clarity—a workbook designed to guide you through every season, every month, every unexpected plot twist.

Because simplifying your life isn’t a one-time decision, it’s a practice. And this workbook gives you the creative exercises, reflective prompts, and practical tools to keep choosing what matters most—all year long.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

This isn’t a rigid planner with pre-filled dates that guilt you when you fall behind. Simplify is a flexible, creative workbook that meets you wherever you are.

Year-Long Reflection Tools:
• Annual review worksheets to assess what’s working (and what’s stealing your peace)
• Quarterly check-ins to recalibrate before you drift too far off course
• Monthly intention-setting exercises that keep you aligned with your values
• Weekly reflection prompts to notice patterns before they become problems
• Daily journaling spaces for processing emotions, victories, and lessons learned

Creative & Contemplative Exercises:
• Life sphere assessments (relationships, work, health, creativity, rest)
• Value clarification activities—because you can’t simplify without knowing what you’re simplifying *for*
• Connection-building exercises for deepening relationships that matter
• Mindfulness practices for slowing down in a culture addicted to speed
• Creative prompts that help you see your life from new angles

Practical Integration Tools:
• Space to track habits you want to build (or break)
• Goal-setting frameworks that honour your actual capacity
• Decision-making worksheets for when you’re stuck between options
• Boundary-setting exercises for learning to protect your peace
• Seasonal release rituals to let go of what you’ve outgrown

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND SIMPLIFY:

“The less we have, the more we truly have.”

In a culture that glorifies busyness and celebrates overwhelm, simplifying is an act of resistance. It’s choosing to build a life that aligns with your actual values rather than someone else’s version of success.

This workbook is your permission to:
• Say no without guilt
• Release commitments that drain you
• Create margin for spontaneity and rest
• Focus on depth instead of breadth
• Choose presence over productivity

Whether you’re simplifying your schedule, your relationships, your home, your work, or your inner world—this workbook walks with you through the process.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Simplify is for you if:
• You’re tired of feeling fragmented across too many priorities
• You want a companion for the whole year, not just a one-time reflection tool
• You value creativity and contemplation as pathways to clarity
• You’re ready to release the “shoulds” and reclaim your life
• You need structure but also flexibility (because rigid systems feel suffocating)
• You’re attending a retreat this year and want tools to integrate what you learn
• You’re facilitating retreats or groups and need worksheets for participants

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

“I purchased one of the end-of-year workbooks, not really understanding how significant an impact going through the workbook would be for me. The highlight of the purchase, though, was Amanda offering a 1-hour online session for 6 weeks to meet with her and other people who purchased the workbook, and to go through it together, page by page, helping me, encouraging me to reflect on my year and notice what I have learnt about myself…..good and bad! To have a go at journaling and assuring me there is no right or wrong way to write what comes out; it’s my story! I don’t have to write it perfectly, just write. Thank you, Amanda! I have loved it. You have gently challenged me to write/journal my story. Here’s to my next chapter.”
— Jenny Hastings

“Amanda – thank you for this sacred and beautiful space you create for each of us to enter into as we close each year. 2024 has been a year, so I was initially apprehensive about reflecting on it, but it was such a beautiful and hopeful time. Thank you.”
— Jac Wraight

“Amanda, this resource is such a gift. Thank you for making and distributing a reflective tool that gently brings to account the season we have been in as well as plans for the season to come. I love that this journal is one that I can continue to pick up and add to as time, events & circumstances arise. I loved the reflecting sheets as they were great for processing what took place last year. Your creativity is such a blessing.”
— Kate Green

“During the past few Christmas and festive seasons, I’ve taken the time to work through several of Amanda’s workbooks. This year, Seeking Clarity has allowed me to take time out, reflect and reset for the New Year. December can be a challenging time when I can feel overwhelmed and exhausted by running a small business, and the responsibilities of having young children can be demanding. With Clarity, I’ve been able to see all I have achieved this year and refocus on what’s really important. Thank you, Amanda. Seeking Clarity has helped me bring time, space and joy back into my days.”
—Brooke Whitmore

HOW TO USE SIMPLIFY:

There’s no “right” way to use this workbook. Some people work through it chronologically. Others jump to whatever section they need in the moment. Both approaches are valid.

For Personal Use:
1. Start wherever you are—beginning, middle, or end of the year
2. Set a regular rhythm (weekly, monthly, or as-needed)
3. Create a ritual around your journaling time—favourite pen, quiet space, hot drink
4. Return to it whenever life feels cluttered or confusing
5. Let it evolve with you across all twelve months

For Retreat Facilitators:
Simplify is perfect for group settings. Use individual worksheets as retreat activities, small group discussions, or take-home integration tools. The flexible format adapts to weekend workshops, day-long intensives, or ongoing groups.

For Therapists & Coaches:
Many of these exercises can support clients in between sessions, helping them process insights and track patterns over time.

WHY JOURNALING MATTERS (AND WHY IT WORKS):

Journaling isn’t just “dear diary” nostalgia. It’s a therapeutic practice backed by research and used by therapists worldwide.

When you write, you:
• Create distance from overwhelming emotions so you can process them more effectively
• Notice patterns you’d otherwise miss when life moves too fast
• Give language to intuitions that haven’t fully formed yet
• Practice discernment by exploring options on the page before committing in real life
• Build self-trust by documenting your own wisdom

Amanda is an accredited Journal Therapy Coach because she’s seen firsthand how transformative this practice can be. Simplify brings those therapeutic principles into a practical, accessible format you can use year-round.
