Happy new year, everyone! 🥳

I love Januaries – I’m always the most energised and excited to tackle another year! I also really enjoy that work ramps up, so I have a bit of time to get myself together before we’re full steam ahead. This week, I thought I’d share three little things I like to do at the start of the year to set myself up.

Now’s a good time to book in for some coffees! I love to spend time with people I work with regularly – no agenda, just focusing on that relationship building and trust.

If there are some people you do work with really closely, you could even have a chat about goals you might have for the year, or things you’d like to accomplish.

I spent most of my Christmas break decluttering my house, but January is all about digital! Clear out your inbox, delete old files you don’t need anymore, and review your filing structure if you can never find what you’re looking for. A bit of a digital tidy-up can set you up for later in the year when you’re feeling too busy or stressed to implement a system.

With fresh eyes, now’s a great time to revisit some major company (or department) goals and strategies. Consider what’s important to the business this year, and how your work and personal goals might align to those priorities.

That’s it for this week! I hope your January has started smoothly, and I look forward to spending 2025 with all of you.
