2025 Countdown - What are your plans?

Heyy you,

How’s it going? Hopefully, you’ve been feeling the Christmas spirit and that extra jolt of motivation that comes with the dawn of a new year.

It’s another chance to start fresh—whether your plan is to get fit, build that amazing product, or even land a new job.

Well, I hate to be the Grinch, but if you’re pushing all those ideas into the New Year, you’re already moving late.

Don’t wait until January 1st to kick off your resolutions. Start making progressive steps right now.

It takes at least 18 days to build a habit.

So, if you start today, you’ll already be 10 days into building a solid system that launches you closer to your dreams by the time 2025 rolls in.

I get it—it’s easy to lose motivation when we don’t see quick results. Our monkey brain constantly seeks quick rewards and validation to reassure us that we’re on the right path.

Good news: this year, I picked up a couple of hacks to keep you going.

1. Write down your goals and place them where you’ll see them often.?This is a constant reminder of the road ahead and will help you visualize the endless possibilities of achieving your goals.
2. Set up a system of accountability. This could mean joining a Twitter community and sharing daily progress reports for a fixed period (like the #100DaysOfConsistency challenge) or leading a hackathon team to push through and bring your MVP to life.
3. Apply directly to the source. For those seeking new opportunities but tired of endlessly scrolling through social media or job portals, make a shortlist of companies you’re interested in and subscribe to their newsletters. You’d be surprised how many opportunities never make it to public platforms.

And that’s all I have for you this week! As always, if you enjoyed reading this or found it helpful, share it with your favorite person(s).
