9/ overwhelming. It’s about taking small, consistent steps toward the things that matter to you. For me, December is a time to reset, focus, and invest in myself. Maybe it could be the same for you. /end

8/ about it, there are a few weeks left in the year and plenty of downtime between now and January. Why not pick something you want to learn or improve at? Whether it’s a skill, a subject, or even just taking time to reflect, you can use this time to your advantage.
