How do we set goals? Why is it so hard? How do we form habits?
The GOOOOOOALS Toolkit is a collection of zines/comics/prints that orbit around some of the questions that I've held in my work the past few years. You might not know that my turn into comics came from a New Year's resolution- one of the few that I've managed to ever keep.
This toolkit collects stories, studies, and workbooks into one package- all centered around the idea of asking you: what are your goals? what matters to you? want to change something? give it a shot! The idea for the toolkit originally came when developing SHAPES in 2023- I thought I'd release it at the start of the year to help with our budding resolutions. Well that didn't happen- but now is the perfect time of year to rethink those goals! Really this can't be any worse than all those other books that promise you a fresh start right? Right?
