As Spring was ending, my best friend and I decided to join the gym. I usually would be the person who spends well over $100 to do a vision board that focuses on getting into shape, taking the trip you’ve been planning for years and finally finishing the entire “Gone with the Wind” without falling asleep. Frankly my dear, I can’t seem to make it past the hour and half mark before my geriatric-millennial eyes get heavy.
At the end of 2025, I did something different: I chose to not make a vision board and to not write out my goals for the upcoming year.
