This time of year, there are a lot of goals that people set earlier in the year that are not completed (or even started…). Rather than give up on them or wait until January, perhaps it is time to take action on them now?
Heading into Thanksgiving week, many people have deadtime on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as they anticipate the holiday. Perhaps this is (it is…) a good time to take action on big goals, little goals, projects, and even organizing things that will move stuff forward.
What are the open goals, projects, ideas that you have? Is there a “someday/maybe” list that you can take an immediate next step on? Perhaps there is One Thing that you can dive deep into? Make things happen, be thankful, move forward.
I would bet that a little action now makes the turkey taste better.
