Episode 122
I don't know about you, but my adhd brain struggles a metric f*ck ton with transitions.
I spent the last 2+ weeks in "Holiday Mode".
"Holiday Mode Courtney" is playing video games with her brothers, having dance parties in the garage, doing art projects, and going to the Children's museum.
The thing is...
Holiday Courtney doesn't know that Work Courtney even exists!
For all Holiday Courtney knows, she is a lady of leisure and money falls from the sky (or Christmas presents?)
In order for me to go from "Holiday Courtney" into "Work Courtney" I need time to transition.
And that transition time?
It looks a lot like dicking around on my computer.
Time to click around on various apps and websites to start to remember who I am, what I do, and where I left off.
Time to brain dump on 750words.com.
Time to make lists and write down ideas.
However...the only way that you can feel good easing slowly into 2026 is if you can trust your plans.
Me?
I've baked "easing in" time to the first 2 weeks of the year using my Time Puzzle philosophy and my 10 Calendar Commandments.
📆 On January 15 I'm hosting a workshop teaching my Time Puzzle philosophy. Details on how to get a free ticket here!
🎧 I also just released a podcast episode going over my 10 Calendar Commandments. You can listen to it here!
I guess the point of this email is to let you off the hook this week.
You don't need to hit the ground running, or even walking for that matter.
You can take tomorrow to simply remember where the ground even is.
Maybe sit on it for a bit.
Do some gentle stretches.
This idea that we need to GO HARD right away comes, I think, from fear.
The fear comes from the pain of never reaching your goals and the determination to make this year different.
But I can tell you from experience that this is not a sustainable way to work.
You're off the hook...ok?
