Best Year Ever 2026

Cosy, sofa-sitting holiday workshops to review, look forward and envision your best year ever

Pull up a blanket, grab a favourite mug, and settle in — because this is your invitation to slow down, breathe out, and give yourself the gift of a gentle reset.

Best Year Ever 2026 is a pair of cosy, sofa-sitting workshops designed to help you make sense of the year that’s been… and dream a little about the one that’s on its way.
 
No overwhelm.
 
No “new year, new you” pressure.
 
Just thoughtful prompts, kind guidance, and a chance to hear yourself think.

 Together, we’ll look back on 2025 with soft eyes, notice the glimmers worth carrying into 2026, and imagine the days, weeks, and seasons you’d love to live next year.
You’ll learn a simple Bullet Journal method to catch your ideas on paper — and keep them close all year long — so your insights don’t just disappear in January.
If you’re craving a calmer start to the year, or you simply want a moment to reflect, reset, and gently re-aim your life… you’re in the right place.

And we’d love to have you with us.

I found confidence, a wealth of knowledge, encouragement, and a whole new set of constructive attitudes towards achieving my dreams.

Workshop Summary

At this time of year, we love to sit down with our journals, reflect on what's been, how we feel right now, and what we might want for ourselves and those around us in the year to come. This will be a chance to do that using some of the best aspects of the 2024 and 2025  Best Year Ever events, in a deliberately relaxed and thoughtful way.

  • Use a structure journal process to get your thoughts down in a way you can easily return to throughout the year
    – so that you can feed your insights into a process that makes a lasting impact
  • Bring the combined power of creative visualisation and Effortless Habits® to bear on your dreams for the year
    – so you write an enchanting and powerful story for 2025 and can more easily see the steps to get there
  • Take stock of the year that's been and set up the best year ever for 2025
    – so you more easily plan the year ahead and the outcomes you want, and make what-if plans for the ones you don't
  • Get a real kick-start to your year, with less stress and more joy and satisfaction
    – Best Year Ever 25 invites you to have the happiness you're aiming for now, not later. An attitude which attracts success

Don't miss these two cosy workshops and holiday journal reflection!

Course Curriculum

Tim Wright

Hi! 

My name's Tim and I founded Habitmakers after I saw the impact support and accountability could have on my 27-year-old self. 

As a boy, I'd worshipped my father, who had been a charming bandleader. He could really entertain an audience, make them laugh and make them listen. I wanted to be able to do that, but even though I could play music, I was far too shy to even attempt to command an audience. 

But I was in luck, at one of the self-development seminars I attended in those years, I found what for me was a golden key. I overcame my fear. 

But what remained was putting my dream into practice. And that would require, well, about a million things to fall into place.

At the end of the seminar, it had been suggested that we pair up and support each other. Gavin Wilson was my 'buddy' and we would call each day. I promised to do two things to achieve a slightly terrifying goal I'd set myself. 

The goal? To create a 100% excellent one-man music show. The measure would be that at end the audience would stand on their chairs and scream and chant for more.

I had so much to do. I didn't even have a working guitar. 

I set up a habit and Gavin asked me each morning if I did it. My habit was to do two things each day towards creating my one-man show.

I had to search for sound equipment. I fixed stage lights. I built a stage. I took every conceivable step towards creating a 100% fantastic show. I found a venue that would give me each Friday night, though I didn't realise until later it was frequented by trainee soldiers letting off (lots of) steam.

With Gavin's support I kept at it, until the first night came and I sang my heart out. But at the end of the show, they didn't stand up. They didn't want more. And I was crestfallen. 

As I look back now, I think that's the moment I would have quietly quit on myself, settled for less than my goal, and just muddled on. 

But the next morning when I called Gavin he simply asked: "What two things are you going to today then?"

And so I sat down and scientifically rearranged my set of songs, so they'd build up to a crescendo of energy. 

And the next Friday night, it happened. First they clapped with a song, then they stood, then in the last song, up they got, screaming, shouting and chanting for more.

And the funny thing was that after word got round. People came to my Friday night show because that's what people did at the end. 

But I was changed. I would play live many more times, to many more chair-standing ovations. 

But I also found I could apply what I'd learned in all sorts of places. From interviewing Tony Blair for BBC Radio, to being asked to run a European data business, to joining the executive team organising a billion-dollar acquisition. 

It was a good change. Like feeling expanded: more me, a little more spine in my back. And I felt happy that I'd faced my fears and gone for it.

As I began to understand my purpose in life was to grow and support others to grow, I felt it would be a wonderful thing if more people had someone by their side to support them to grow. 

The result would be a world that was a little more satisfied, more aligned with what they cared about. Happier. So I created Habitmakers so people seeking a positive change have a team behind them.

 


Hi there, my name’s Remy and I’ve been part of the buddy network for around 8 months now. From the beginning, I’ve found it to be a really helpful way to stay motivated and organised with daily and weekly goals for myself that I share with my buddy. I’ve really enjoyed connecting with my buddy, as well as being able to help motivate and encourage them too in their daily goals. I think finding a person who you can be accountable to, and who is genuinely rooting for you as you are for them, is a great experience, and something I’m really grateful to both benefit from and be a part off.
