How to Choose What to Focus on Before the End of the Year? Use your feelings: - What would be a relief to get over with before the end of the year?
- What is something don't you want to be talking about planning to do next year? Instead, you want to say it's done!
Use joy and regret: - Joy: Yes! It would be great to get this done.
- Regret: I would regret not getting this done now!
Use the calendar: - Is there an event you want to be ready for?
- Is there an externally-imposed deadline that you need to meet?
If you listed several answers, let these questions help you prioritize : - Is there a sense of urgency, time-sensitive or otherwise?
- Did you promise to do it?
- Are you expected to do it?
- Is it required by your management?
- What is at stake if you don't get it done?
Tip: Replace (the end of the year) with the end of the week/month/quarter, your Birthday, Christmas, Ramadan, or trip. You get the picture. |

Some cool resources I personally use, love and recommend, with discounts just for you: - I like to start the day with my personalized Momentum Plus tab, which helps me stay focused with a powerful mantra, an inspiring image, a to-do list, countdowns to big dates, and world clocks where I keep an eye on time zones of friends and family living abroad before contacting them. Being a newsletter friend, you would get a special offer of a 10% discount when you subscribe to Momentum Plus with the promo code: bardees.
- Enjoy a free month of the Readwise app, it is the BEST way to retain the knowledge you gain through reading. Using spaced repetition, it helps you remember your highlights from kindle books/articles you read.
