Carry-over squares
- The goal that didn't fit this year's board.
- A habit worth a second, smarter attempt.
- The trip that needs a full year's notice.
- A project too big to start in December.
2027 bingo
2027 bingo: plan the year before it starts planning you.
Most 2027 resolutions will be written on January 1st, in a rush, and abandoned by Valentine's Day. A 2027 bingo sheet written early is different: 25 deliberate squares you chose with a clear head, ready the moment the new year begins.
What is 2027 bingo?
2027 bingo is a bingo sheet for next year's goals: a 5 by 5 board holding the resolutions, habits, trips, and milestones you want out of 2027. Drafting it before January means New Year's Day starts with crossing off squares, not brainstorming them. On Yearly Bingo, next-year sheets stay private drafts until January 1 - so you can tinker all December without an audience.
Fresh-start squares
- Learn something with zero relation to your job.
- A first: first race, first exhibition, first dive.
- One deliberately uncomfortable goal.
- Something kind that costs you real effort.
Season-shaped squares
- A summer square that can't happen in winter.
- A winter square that earns the cold months.
- One square per quarter to pace the board.
- A December square to land the year softly.
People squares
- Reconnect with someone you lost track of.
- A standing tradition with friends or family.
- Host something you'd normally just attend.
- Share the board with a friend and compare years.
How to draft a 2027 bingo sheet early
- Review this year first - unfinished goals either graduate to 2027 or get cut honestly.
- Write more than 25 candidate goals, then keep the ones you'd actually enjoy finishing.
- Give every square a finish line you could photograph.
- Spread seasonal squares across the calendar so the board can't stall.
- Keep it as a draft until January 1, then start crossing off - and if you're still working on this year, there's the 2026 bingo sheet too.
