post-christmas burps
I overdid it again.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a holiday hangover.
The kind that comes from over-eating, excessive napping, and parenting kids who are over-stimulated. I give myself permission to be a little reckless on Christmas each year.
And now it’s Thursday, but it feels like a… Sunday? We’re in that weird vortex of time and space.
The final days of 2024.
If this week were a performance, it’d be the encore. The moment where you get to decide how you want to leave your audience (or yourself) feeling as the curtain falls.
So here’s the question: What do you want to actually accomplish in the next 3-12 months?
Not the vague, “I should probably…” goals.
The real stuff that makes you excited to pick up the mic (or the pen, or whatever tool you use to deliver your genius).
Because January doesn’t have to be some high-pressure, “new year, new me” panic-fest. It can be the starting point for momentum that builds all year long.
And momentum doesn’t start in January—it starts now. With the plans you make and the clarity you get this week.
Take some time to:
Revisit your goals. Are they bold enough to scare you a little?
Get specific. What small, manageable actions can you take in the next 90 days to get closer to them?
Set the tone. What kind of energy do you want to bring into your work in 2025? (Fun? Confidence? “I’m coming for Netflix” vibes?)
If you’re not much of a planner, aim for progress, not perfection.
Even the tiniest step forward will make January feel like you’re coming in hot instead of starting from scratch.
And know this: You’re not alone. I’m rooting for you every step of the way.
Be Brave. Stay Silly. Finish Strong.
