Congratulations on surviving the holiday season and end of the year “busy-ness”. If you had the opportunity to read any of the previous 9 “have a stress free end of the year” posts, hopefully you were able to do more than just “survive” – and instead THRIVED!!!
You may be wondering why I created a post about creating a stress-free end of the year a week into the new year.
- What worked?
- What can you adjust to create an even better experience next year?
- When do you want to start your planning for next year?
- What is the first action step you need to schedule?
- Who can you delegate various activities to?
- Which activities did you enjoy the most?
- What do you wish you could have done that you didn’t have time for?
- What activities will you eliminate for next year?
- What can you organize now – to make next year even more successful?
- What systems can you put into place today?
I encourage you to read the first 9 posts in this series and make some notes for next year – while everything is fresh in your mind!

Hi Lisa, Thanks for this article. I love when a New Year is ahead and the possibility to start out fresh.
Hi Eva!!! Happy New Year! What are some of the possibilities you are envisioning for 2015?
I agree with Eva- the new year is always full of so possibilities and changes!
Welcome Karen!
I’m curious – what possibilities and changes are you seeing for 2015?
Lisa
Well, I can think of a lot of things that DIDN’T work so well in my personal life this year. Especially in the area of fitness. But I do have a plan in place to make 2015 better!
V.J. – thrilled you have a plan! I’m curious, I’ll bet there were some things that DID work last year . . . any way to build on that success??
Lisa, you cover some really important topics in your blog! I love the idea of THRIVING, not just SURVIVING. And this is the perfect time of year for each to write down what worked or what didn’t, last year. All the best to you in 2015!
Thanks, Kebba, for the kudos! Keep thriving!
My favorite part about the end of the year was pausing to look at what I will do differently going forward. I made a list for myself and if something else pops up, I remind myself to stick to my list and FOCUS. Only once I have my new routines under my belt will I consider adding more things.
