Welcome to 2025. Take a moment to think about this past year. About what you accomplished. About the days you were on top of things. About the days that maybe you weren’t.
Let’s focus on those days for a moment.
Some days you just aren’t productive. Some days, you aren’t meant to be productive.
Maybe you made a list and didn’t check off a single thing. Maybe you didn’t even make a list.
Maybe you were tired, or under the weather, or suddenly busy with unexpected things. Maybe you simply needed a break. Maybe you didn’t need a break, but you took one anyway.
Maybe you thought you were being productive, but then it turned out you were just spinning your wheels and not actually getting anything done. Maybe you were busy the whole day, and somehow accomplished nothing.
If you’ve had one of those days (or weeks, or months, or years), it’s okay.
If you’re thinking, Hey, I subscribed to this email list because I needed practical tips—don’t worry. There will be plenty of those in future emails. But for now, just take a deep breath. Yes, right now. In, and out.
Welcome to 2025, everyone.
