Hard to believe, but in just 37 days, it will be January 1, 2025. As we approach the end of another year, it’s an opportune time for reflection and planning. Here are some questions to ponder as you review your journey through 2024 and prepare for the year ahead:

• Did you achieve any of the goals you set for 2024?
• Did you even write down your goals?
• How much time do you think you wasted, and how much time were you truly productive?
• Are you ready to make 2025 your best year yet?

Maybe you referred to them as “resolutions” instead of goals. So, did you accomplish any of your resolutions? If not, why do you think that was? Reflecting on these questions is essential as it allows you to assess your progress, understand your challenges, and celebrate your successes.

As a life coach, I believe in the power of a “year in review.” It’s not just about looking back but also about recognizing how far you’ve come and planning where you’re headed next. Over the next four weeks, I will be sharing at least one or two blog posts per week focusing on resolutions, goal setting, and more. These posts aim to provide valuable insights and practical strategies to help you set and achieve your goals.

Additionally, I will be introducing some very special coaching packages for the coming year. These packages are designed to support you in making 2025 a year of growth, success, and fulfillment. Don’t let 2025 slip through your fingers with little or nothing to show for it. You deserve to be the best version of yourself, and with my coaching, you’ll have the tools and support to make that happen.

Remember, it’s not just about setting goals but also about creating actionable plans to achieve them. So, as we approach the new year, let’s work together to turn your aspirations into reality. You have the potential for greatness, and I’m here to help you unlock it. Stay tuned for more updates and resources, and let’s make 2025 your most successful year yet!

And as we embark on this journey, know that you are not alone. As your coach, I am committed to guiding you every step of the way, celebrating your victories, and helping you navigate any challenges that come your way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals and make 2025 a year to remember. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your goals and plans further, please don’t hesitate to reach out: coachdtw@gmail.com Let’s make this year incredible together!

The following is a blog you can find at https://admiredleadership.com/ Just sign up for their “Field Notes.”  They cover a variety of topics in leadership and more, well worth a few minutes to read every day in your inbox.

“In an 80-year lifespan, there are 960 months, roughly 4,000 weeks, 29,000 days, 700,000 hours, 42 million minutes, and 2.5 billion seconds.  

We normally evaluate our productivity in hours, days, weeks, and months and leave minutes and seconds to those fixated on speed. 

Of course, the math isn’t hard. There are 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds in a single day. It is tough to be more productive in every second or minute. But people can get a lot done in as little as 10 minutes.  

In 10 minutes, we can set the day’s priorities, sketch out the pros and cons of a decision, check in by phone with an important relationship, update colleagues about recent events, offer feedback to a team member, craft a meeting agenda, compose a congratulatory email, read a blog, buy a gift online, and review the action steps of an assignment, among a myriad of other tasks.  

Interestingly, there are 144 ten-minute blocks in each day. Considering most people sleep 8 hours every evening, there are, then, 96 ten-minute blocks in an average day with which we can be highly productive or less so. 

That’s a big number.

What would happen to your personal productivity if you held yourself accountable to spending at least a portion of those ten-minute blocks in a manner you would call fruitful?  

What if you were to focus on one 10-minute block at a time? 

With every 10-minute block you engage more productively, you make yourself more effective. Find 10 minutes today to do something uncommonly well. Now find another 10 minutes to do it again.  

Productivity is never an accident. Every 10 minutes can count. ” ~ Field Notes
