Welcome 2025!
2024 was such a roller coaster ride for a number of people and everyone’s raring to get this new year started. While most are still in holiday mode, here’s something to think about and possibly use to make 2025 a better year.
2025 according to numerology adds up to the number “9” (2+0+2+5). This number represents endings, personal growth and helping others. This means that it’s time to use the lessons of the past and focus on making positive changes in your life and the lives of people around you.
So why don’t we make use of those “lessons” that we’ve learned from the past year and change it up a bit by creating a “not-to-do-list” – this is about creating a list of things that hinder your productivity
Step 1: Remind yourself of your goals last year that you were not able to achieve.
Step 2: Objectively trace back the challenges that you had in achieving these goals and
focus on the challenges that you can realistically manage.
Step 3: List down these items based on how many times these challenges have
prevented you from achieving your goals – time-wasters, efficiency deterrents
et al
Step 4: More importantly, follow this list.
Remember that the “not-to-do” list does not only remind you the challenges you had last year but also it serves as the trigger to move forward to creating a positive change in your behaviour. This provides a reasonable and realistic guideline for you to follow. Ideally it creates a check and balance routine that you can apply to how you deal with personal and professional life challenges.
Enjoy the new year!
