The article argues that instead of treating AI as a basic assistant for to-dos and summaries, you can use it as a strategic partner to plan your year more effectively by clarifying your goals, designing the systems that support them, and anticipating problems before they arise. It suggests using thoughtful prompts to get honest feedback on your patterns and likely outcomes if you continue your current behaviors, then working with AI to build structures (like accountability systems, calendars, routines, and checkpoints) that make ambitious goals more achievable. The author emphasizes that AI’s strength in pattern recognition and scenario forecasting can expose blind spots in planning and help you create a more executable, adaptive yearly plan for success in 2026.
