Episode 134 [SPECIAL BONUS!] Preview my "Start Your New Year With a Plan" Mini-Course
Description
You've heard me say "one minute of planning saves you ten minutes of doing." However, when the planning is "big picture" planning, the return on investment is even higher!
I used to always get a little depressed around this time of year because I love the holidays so much and the new year seemed like a tiresome challenge that I needed to overcome. However, as I often say, a lot of life is figuring out how you think and figuring out how to overcome any limiting tendencies you might have.
Year after year, I wouldn't start planning my year until the end of January or even the beginning of February (gasp!)
When I recognized this limiting tendency of mine, I tried something new. I started planning my new year around Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving in general, so it created a positive association for me that made me want to keep doing it (aka: habit stacking for those who've heard me say it.)
When I started doing this, I found that I enjoyed the holidays even more and looked forward to the new year with EXCITEMENT and MOMENTUM.
I want to help you feel that same excitement and momentum! Join my "Get Organized 2026" mini course to get started. This video is the "Before You Start" video and if you like what you see, you can join the roughly 90-minute mini-course at http://TinyURL.com/GetOrganized2026
