#59 Embracing Ease: Sustaining Accountability and Intentionality in the New Year

In this first podcast episode of 2024, I reflect on the past year (2023) and share my personal experiences and changes in my life. I discuss a recent talk I gave at church titled "Hard Times Are Also Healing Times," and I didn't share everything on the podcast because I wanted to keep it business-focused. I express excitement for the new year and reveal that my chosen word for the year is "ease."

I also share additional words for each quarter, month, and day, emphasizing the importance of intentionality and productivity. The episode transitions into a discussion on sustaining accountability with new habits, especially at the beginning of the year. I introduce five questions related to accountability and provide insights into each question, encouraging listeners to reflect on their goals, motivations, and past successes.

Topics Covered in the Episode:

• Reflection on the past year (2023).
• Choosing a word for the new year ("ease") and additional words for each quarter, month, and day.
• Introduction to sustaining accountability with new habits.
