While I sit snowed-in waiting for the next storm system to dump a bucket of snow on me, I am enjoying the process of making plans for 2025 and reading other people’s reflections and goals. Since I have not yet left the house I feel like I am still in the “jump-start the new year” phase of the year. As long as I can’t leave the house, I might as well start a new journal to document my reading, another for work projects, and maybe another that’s just cat shenanigans. Are you still planning your 2025 or is it in full swing?
