Instructions for a beautiful new year
1. Turn off your phone. Look up, not down.
2. Delete Facebook. Instead, write a book.
3. Make time for that one project you’ve always wanted to do. Finally do it.
4. Delete most of the items on your to-do list. Subtract. Edit. Simplify.
5. Spend time with people* you respect and admire.
6. Do things that make you feel alive.
7. If there’s an idea that keeps calling to you strongly, don’t bury it in a folder. Plan it. Write it. Publish it. Get it done.
. . .
With all of my heart, I'm wishing you a beautiful 2022.
I hope your year is off to an excellent start.
And if it's not, well, it's never too late to get things back on track.
Today is not over yet.

PS. My friend asked me a wonderful question: "What do you want to be celebrating ten weeks from now?" Similar question: "What's a victory you want to be celebrating at the end of this year?" What actions will you take—today—to make it so?
PPS. All the books (pictured in the top photo) were written by clients and The Tiny Book Course graduates. Congratulations to these authors. Here's to many more books being born in '22.
PPPS. I made a new playlist for the new year. 2 hours of music. 2022 vibes. Chill beginning. Energizing middle. Wind down. Mellow at the end. Enjoy.
