Speaker 1:
- Year tip number one take time to dream I know I talk about this all the time but you don't know what you really want unless you take the time to dream think about it the last time you had a few minutes to yourself what did you do if you're like me you hopped on the latest webinar or video you're watching picked up your phone to organize your life text your friends or hopped on social we don't always take the time to stop and dream for the next few weeks when you have moments waiting in line sitting in the car waiting to hop on a plane stop and ask yourself what do I really want let yourself think about it and keep asking the question what do I really want after taking time to stop and think about it your answer might be a bit different than what you thought it would be and you will start the year off
- right tip two get organized I am mostly paperless however there is still some floating around my office when things start to stack up it becomes difficult to think straight in the last few weeks of the year I commit to getting rid of the Clutter whether it is physically cleaning out my desk or office space or getting rid of all of the open tabs on my computer set yourself up for a clean start in 2023 it will feel so
