Things I'm doing this month to end the year strong and embrace some new year refreshes in my business...
💭 Pinterest vision board for 2025
One of my favorite activities for a refresh is to head to Pinterest of course! I start by taking a notebook and writing down ANYTHING I can think of for the upcoming year.
Words I want to focus on, goals or projects I want to accomplish, things I loved from last year, emotions I want to feel, and experiences I'd like to have.
Then I take that notebook, create a new Pinterest board, and use my notes to help guide my vision board-ing.
This visual activity gets me in a new mindset and illuminates habits/projects/goals I want to change or implement. Plus, it's really fun to do with a glass of wine and a Christmas movie playing in the background.
☃️ Snowy walks + festive activities
Walks in the snow, skating, Christmas movies, wrapping gifts, PUZZLES, listening to Vinyl Cafe, baking... I've been trying to incorporate cozy activities into this month to really embrace the season.
I often find myself leaning into work mode for the end of the year so planning cozy, festive activities like this helps shift my focus.
🗓️ Writing my status report
I SWEAR by this strategy when I'm heading out of office. It allows me to truly unplug when I'm away from my inbox!
My ‘status report’ is just a document where I write down each current client project I have on the go and any notes about where I'm at with the project.
I write down any deadlines, what stage the project is in (Is the client reviewing a draft while I'm away? Have they sent through final edits?), and what needs to happen next once I get back.
When I get back from my travels, one of the first things I do is read my status report to get my brain back into work mode and remind myself of all the details of each project.
What are some things you do at the end of the year to embrace the season or do some refreshes for the new year?!
