We were NOT ready for this.

When we opened early planning for our 2026 workshop, the response didn’t drip in. It flooded in.
And it made one thing very clear:

The Medical Affairs community is DONE running on vibes.
You want structure. You want clarity. You want a plan that actually works.

So let’s build it.

Here are three free tools (plus a Mira prompt) to help you reset, refocus, and take control of your year before it takes control of you.

Let’s go.  

1. Start With the Truth: Where Your Time is Going

If you don’t know where your hours disappear, planning becomes guesswork.

The Time Audit Worksheet will show you exactly what’s driving impact — and what’s draining it.

Five minutes with this will change how you plan the rest of the year.

2. Build Goals That Work in Real Life

Not dream-world goals. Not “maybe next month” goals.

Executable goals. 

Use the Planning Guide to set clear, realistic priorities for your next 90 days and beyond.

3. Forget "Balance," — Aim for Alignment

Most people don’t need more productivity.
They need more intentionality.

This post breaks down the exact shift:

4 Steps to An MSL's Path to Alignment 

It’s short and perspective-changing.

Planning Jumpstart: Drop This Into Mira

Try this to instantly organize your brain:

“Create a Medical Affairs–specific planning blueprint that breaks my goals into quarterly priorities, weekly habits, and one simple metric to track progress. Keep it practical and doable.”

This is the moment planning stops feeling heavy and starts feeling possible.
