Your Yes Doubles as a No

Happy New Year!🥳🎉 I pray 2026 opens you up to significant changes and growth in every area of your life. Have a sweet year!🥂 Let's talk about priorities. It's a new year, and most people have set goals for the year. However, our attention is limited, so there's only so much we can do simultaneously. Because the more you do, the less productive you are. If you split your attention too thin across various activities at the same time, you limit your growth and progress in each of them. That's because excelling in anything requires great focus. To excel, you need priorities. What are your priorities for 2026? Choose 1 to 3 primary answers. You can write out others as well. But highlight your main three. Map out the activities, time commitment, and resources your priorities will require from you. That'll determine how much time you have for your other interests, that’s if you have any room left for more. One reason, amongst others, why people get fatigued before January ends is a lack of clarity on what's important and why it is important. If thinking of the whole year is too overwhelming, start from the first quarter, January to March. What are your top 1 to 3 priorities for the first quarter? What do you need to do to make significant progress in them? Break them down into simple steps or actions and start implementing. Remember, saying yes to something means saying no to another, even if it's for a short while. So choose your yeses carefully, and you'll have the best year ever! Alright, that'll be all for now, until next Friday. Osose Christabel. Something to think about: Are there any goals you have that need to temporarily take the back seat so you can focus on your priorities?

Hi Reader! One of the things that's consistent about the most successful humans to have ever walked the planet isn't skill, family connections (some might disagree), talent, or even courage to try new things. It's a strong sense of resilience that demands results. What marks resilience is the ability to get back up again. After a failure, distraction, disappointment, hurt, or just a loooong day that feels like it will never end. That’s something you need to become the next or better version...
Hi Reader! Last week, I talked about setting priorities and being specific about what’s most important to you. Today, let’s talk about enjoying the process as we optimize for great outcomes. You see, Reader, it gets really hard to stick to something when you're yet to see results, especially when it’s time and energy consuming. When your expected outcome doesn’t seem to be coming as fast as you’d like, you wonder when or if they’ll ever come. These moments are where people begin to pivot....
