📹 ✅ No pressure. No “new year, new you” chaos. Just a clean slate, fresh creative energy, and the chance to set up a year that feels productive, peaceful, and creatively fulfilling.

You don’t need a full reset or a 20-step productivity routine. You just need a few intentional moves - starting today.

Here are 3 simple things you can do right now to make 2026 your most organised, creative, and calm UGC year yet 👇

🌱 1. Create a “Calm Systems” Reset (Before You Create Anything)

Organisation = creative freedom.

Before jumping into filming, posting, or pitching, take a moment to organise the foundation of your creative life.

🗂 What to do today:

✨ Create 4 main folders on your phone or laptop:

• UGC Raw Footage

• Reusable B-Roll Clips

• Edited Content

• Brand Deals & Ideas

✨ Delete or archive content you no longer need
✨ Rename files clearly (future you will be grateful)
✨ Save your go-to hooks, captions, and scripts in one place (consider setting up a Notion / Trello board!)

🎨 2. Define Your Creative Direction (Not Your Entire Year)

Clarity without pressure.

You don’t need to map out all of 2026. You just need a creative north star.

✍️ What to do today:

✨ Write down:

• 3 content styles you loved making in 2025

• 3 styles you want to explore in 2026

• 1 thing you’re done forcing (is there a niche you didn’t like?)

✨ Choose a word or phrase for your year
(Think: “ease,” “consistency,” “confidence,” “play,” “flow”)

⚡ 3. Set One Gentle Productivity Rule

Structure without burnout.

Productivity doesn’t mean doing more - it means doing what matters, consistently.

⏱ What to do today:

✨ Choose ONE rule you’ll follow all year, for example:

• “I film in batches, not daily.”

• “I stop working when my brain feels tired.”

• “I plan content weekly, not last-minute.”

• “I don’t compare my progress to others.”

✨ Final Thought:

A successful year doesn’t start with pressure. It starts with clarity, calm systems, and self-trust.

2026 doesn’t need you to be louder, faster, or perfect. It just needs you to show up consistently - with intention and kindness toward yourself.

We’re so excited to create, grow, and build alongside you this year 💛
Here’s to a creative, peaceful, and organised 2026.
