10 gentle reminders for the final month of the year
All of my blog posts, newsletters, and 1-1 emails are written by me — em dashes and all! If you wanna know how I use AI in my business, click here.
December doesn't have to be your most productive month just because it's the last one. You don't need to cram a year's worth of goals into 31 days.
That end-of-year panic you're feeling? It's just your brain trying to convince you that everything needs to be wrapped up perfectly. It doesn't.
Your Q4 goals can become Q1 goals. The world won't end if some projects slide into January.
It's okay to say no to holiday commitments AND work deadlines. Your capacity might be lower right now, and that's completely normal.
The "fresh start" effect of January 1st is a marketing tactic, not a requirement. You don't need to transform your entire life before the ball drops.
Some of your 2024 goals might still be unfinished. That doesn't make you a failure - it makes you human.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by your task list, remember: Not everything labeled "urgent" actually is. Question those deadlines.
Your worth isn't measured by how many year-end reviews you complete or how many goals you achieved. You're more than your productivity.
December comes with its own energy demands between holidays, family, and winter blues. It's okay if work takes a backseat.
The best gift you can give yourself right now might be permission to do less. Let some things be "good enough" and save your energy for what matters.
