End Like You Mean to Continue

Welcome to another Wednesday Wisdom. Every week, I share with you what I'm thinking about life, work, and leadership. This week we're talking about closing out the year.


There are 17 days until Christmas.

The way I see it, you've got two options:

1. Keep doing what you're doing.

Tell yourself that if you just survive the next couple of weeks, you'll do things differently next year. With some space over the break, you'll be able to think about it and make some decisions then.

2. Change now.

Realise that once these urgent things are over, there will simply be new ones to replace them. Make some hard calls now, and end this year the way you want to start the next one.

It's up to you.
