👋 Hello ! How's your 2021 so far?

I hope that things have been going well for you and that you are on track with your 2021 goals so far.

As for me, I honestly haven't made serious and solid new year's resolutions and absolute plans just yet. It's not that I don't believe in new year's resolutions anymore, it's just that I don't believe they should all be written and implemented in January. 🤷‍♀️

I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but I think January can be a bit overwhelming. It's the month where I stand in the middle of trying to cool down my digestive system from the lots and lots and lots of eating & socializing from the holidays and of trying to keep up with the pressure of all the planning, envisioning and brainstorming here and there, as if we should all be able to predict and plan out the rest of the year (a false expectation that 2020 debunked with flying colors).

And so I decided to go against the grain. While the rest of the world has started picking up their 10-pound dumbbells again since January 2, I just let myself... be. I allowed myself to rest and resist all the external pressure. I kept my zen and sanity by just taking it one day (not one year) at a time for now and I didn't feel irresponsible for doing so because I know that come February, I'll be in full throttle again. I guess this is the wisdom behind applying Ecclesiastes 3's "There is a Time for Everything". ⏳

And so today is the 1st of February and now I'm ready! 💪

You are receiving this email from me because you either signed up for one of my online courses, or downloaded one of my presentations, or simply signed up for the Get Smarter and Better mailing list-- wherever you fall under, you're receiving this because you believe in the smarter and better you, just as much as I do. 🤓

So, the first thing I'd like to do in my "new year" is to honor your desire to walk the smarter and better path by sharing with you this 12-week year calendar template that I've designed from reading the book "The 12 Week Year. Get more done in 12 weeks than others do in 12 months"

Basically, the premise is, instead of planning for the next 12 months, just plan for the next 12 weeks, because it gives you more clarity and sense of urgency to act on your goals immediately rather than dilly-dally because there's still the rest of the year to make up for your endless goals anyway.

🤝 We're all in this together, ayt? 👍👍
