00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,030
Hey there and welcome back to the The well podcast.

2
00:00:03,090 --> 00:00:03,990
I'm your host, Amanda.

3
00:00:03,990 --> 00:00:07,410
And today we're diving into the magical world of new year's resolutions.

4
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:08,700
But don't worry.

5
00:00:08,910 --> 00:00:11,460
We're not talking about hitting the gym more often.

6
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:18,240
We're going to explore how this time of year is a golden opportunity to reset both our personal and our professional goals.

7
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:24,900
So, whether you're juggling board meetings and ballet recitals or spreadsheets and soccer games, today's episode is for you.

8
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:26,220
Let's jump in.

9
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:29,429
First of all, why is new year such a big deal for goal-setting?

10
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:31,799
Well, it's like hitting the refresh button.

11
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:36,900
It's a chance to leave behind what didn't work last year and start with a completely clean slate.

12
00:00:37,319 --> 00:00:39,720
I like to think of it as just a big reset button.

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,810
You could also think of it as a yearly software update for your life.

14
00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:46,620
And just like any update, it might bring some unexpected bugs, but most.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,510
But mostly it comes with cool new features and improved performance.

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,710
As a techie.

17
00:00:52,770 --> 00:00:59,430
I love that analogy because that's exactly how we get excited about our updates on our computers, our laptops, and our phones.

18
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:04,320
As parents, we often put ourselves last, but remember a happier, you means a happier family.

19
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:07,140
So let's set some me-time goals this year.

20
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:11,400
It could be as simple as reading a book instead of watching more Netflix.

21
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:13,830
Or you could be learning a new hobby.

22
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:16,830
Like I am with deejaying and electronic music.

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,190
Or you could just take an uninterrupted bath once a week.

24
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:22,290
And that's not forget our little kiddos.

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,720
Setting goals with them can be a blast.

26
00:01:24,990 --> 00:01:29,550
Maybe it's a family game night every Friday, or working on a DIY project together.

27
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:32,850
It's about making memories and growing together.

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,800
You're going to remember these memories.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,240
You're going to cherish these memories.

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,860
So why not set some goals with your kids and go through the journey together with them?

31
00:01:41,103 --> 00:01:47,596
Now, when it comes to the work side, the professional side of things as parent preneurs, our time is our most valuable asset.

32
00:01:48,196 --> 00:01:53,626
This year, I suggest you focus more on working smarter and not harder.

33
00:01:54,106 --> 00:02:04,926
I like to use this term called smart cuts rather than shortcuts you take smart cuts, doing things that are more efficient and maybe getting things done quicker or just not doing them at all.

34
00:02:05,736 --> 00:02:10,086
You could delegate tasks start using some new digital tools or software.

35
00:02:10,476 --> 00:02:19,886
Or when it comes to the business, it could even be improving your marketing strategies so that you have to rely less on inefficient tactics and strategies that aren't working anymore.

36
00:02:19,886 --> 00:02:23,926
One of the things I've talked about on previous episodes is this idea of no hurry.

37
00:02:24,196 --> 00:02:24,946
No pause.

38
00:02:25,606 --> 00:02:34,936
And the idea behind that is you don't rush to do things because when you do things too quickly, they end up either not happening correctly, or you end up making mistakes.

39
00:02:35,446 --> 00:02:37,756
But also pausing has the same effect.

40
00:02:37,846 --> 00:02:39,046
If you take too long.

41
00:02:39,586 --> 00:02:46,326
And decide to delay things and defer things sometimes that can snowball and actually have negative effects.

42
00:02:46,326 --> 00:02:48,996
I remember small steps lead to big changes.

43
00:02:49,326 --> 00:02:53,286
So this year work on setting more realistic and achievable goals.

44
00:02:53,376 --> 00:02:56,826
In addition to having a couple of stretch goals in there, things that push you.

45
00:02:57,186 --> 00:03:01,276
They excite you, they get your thoughts and your imagination racing.

46
00:03:01,276 --> 00:03:06,436
I hope you feel inspired to tackle this new year with enthusiasm and a sense of purpose and meaning.

47
00:03:06,466 --> 00:03:08,716
Remember, and the grand juggling act of life.

48
00:03:08,776 --> 00:03:10,276
It's okay to drop a ball or two.

49
00:03:10,636 --> 00:03:12,826
The key is to pick them up and just keep going.

50
00:03:13,486 --> 00:03:19,456
