With year end approaching, many of us look for ways to add new routines to bring us energy and clarity. So, we decided to ask our team members about what they do to bring focus. ? Bullet journals for daily reflection on gratitude. ? Accountability partners with regular check-ins to make sure they are sticking to their plan and goals. ? Scheduled time for reflection and clarity on what is most important. ? Reading goals for learning and growth. Don't underestimate the power of even 15 minutes of mindfulness activities as a healthy addition to your daily routine.
