The author recommends using AI not just as a task helper but as a strategic partner to plan your year more effectively. Start by having AI analyze your past year to reveal patterns and where you’re likely headed if nothing changes, then prioritize your goals by treating them like a portfolio to focus on the few that will yield the biggest results. Use AI to run premortems on your plans to identify risks and obstacles before they happen, and shift from milestone-based goals to building actionable systems that support those goals. The article also suggests integrating AI with your calendar or tools so planning becomes a continuous, adaptive process rather than a once-a-year exercise. Used well, AI helps clarify your priorities and keep your plans flexible and realistic throughout the year.
