2026 Mindset Non-Planner (book)

I am an active participant in a few online groups for entrepreneur architects.
A few groups are in Facebook, and are free, but the best one for me is the paid EntreArchitect Network, for entrepreneur architects, which is worth every penny.
Most mornings, at 8:30 AM (ET), we have a live mindset meeting, led by Jeff Echols. It’s a guided conversation focusing on GROWTH, whether it be personal, professional or business related. Jeff has postulated that there are 5 steps to growth:
Action → Movement → Momentum → Change → Growth , which will appear throughout.
Jeff is often inspired by other authors, almost as wise as he is, including James Clear, Mel Robbins, and various Greek and Roman philosophers. While he is the only one who speaks, we, the audience, contribute our ideas typing in the chat area, and learn from each other. It has become an essential start to our days, even for those on the West Coast who have to connect at 5:30 AM!
I keep a notebook by my side, and jot down whatever ideas come up that catch my attention, and I publish them in our network, not as a summary of what was discussed, but as a very personal reflection on what was said. I have been collecting such snippets for months. Most of them are things Jeff said (paraphrased). Others are comments someone typed, or what someone “famous” said.
This notebook organizes six months’ worth of snippets into 53 groups, which I plan to use to collect weekly thoughts (and doodles) in 2026. Perhaps you will do the same?
It also includes a weekly calendar, where you could write your “to do” items, but I plan to use it instead to jot down what I accomplished that day. I think it will be wonderful to reflect on what actually got done every week, month, quarter or year! The weekends are NOT FOR WORK.
