Description

To make significant progress in the coming year, dedicate a bit of time weekly at a consistent "same time, same place" to reflect and advance towards your objectives. This straightforward strategy may seem modest, but the cumulative effect of incremental steps over 52 weeks can be substantial.

"Achieving one of my most significant goals began in OCTOBER. The start date isn't crucial. What matters is that you begin!" – Vic Johnson
