Former Google career coach shares a visual trick for figuring out what to do with your life

If you want 2022 to be an exciting year, design it that way.

That’s the advice of former Google career coach and job strategist Jenny Blake, who has helped more than a thousand people improve their work lives.

She recommends creating a “mind map,” a visual diagram of your interests and goals to help you figure out the next project, hobby or career change that will make your next year happier and more successful.

“My favorite way to brainstorm creatively, whether it’s about values or setting goals for the new year, is through mind maps,” Blake tells CNBC.

To make one, write down the year at the center of a piece of paper, and then draw spokes with different themes that are important to you. For example, your spokes could be business, personal life, health and fitness, fun or skill building.

From each of those themes, draw additional spokes to connect the themes to ways you want to improve or experiment in that area. 

Blake recommends you ask yourself: “What’s important to me about that? And what does success look like?”
