Thank you. I mean, to be put in the category with Amber Walsh is a big compliment to me. So thank you for that. I appreciate that.

Sounds like a great plan, Scott.

Absolutely. Chanel, great to talk with you. We're sitting here at the middle of January, the beginning of 2025. And many of us, myself included, started the new year off with tons of ideas, energy, and just countless resolutions and goals. But oftentimes what happens, we burn out. And sometimes it takes a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.

And sometimes it takes a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.

I just learned of this, and maybe I should have known this before, but there's actually a name for the day that this happens, believe it or not. it's the second Friday in January, they term it the Quitters Day. And this is the day that a lot of people give up on their resolution.

And as I think about it, you know, what, why is it that people quit on that day after, you know, just a few weeks earlier, being so excited about what they wanted to do? I think it's because we lose motivation, because we realize, the thing that we're trying to do is hard, right? It takes effort.

And the important thing, though, the thing that is actually really difficult is that we have too many things that we're trying to do. So I think one of the things that we can help with that in terms of keeping those goals alive is instead of quitting them, maybe it's time to work on narrowing the focus. And I think there's some ideas on how we make that happen or why this is important.

And I think there's some ideas on how we make that happen or why this is important.

And so those three ideas, we'll start with the first one is the reality is we can actually do a lot more with less. So when we reduce our list from 20 things or 25 things on there and just focus on one or two things, we can actually make some real progress. You know, I think when our energies are focused on just a couple few things, we can move those things along.

And even more and more studies, I'm just reading a book, just finished a book by Sanjay Gupta called Keep Sharp on Brain Health. And in that book and other studies that I've read as well, see more and more that multitasking is actually really not good for the brain. It affects negatively cognitive function, such as attention and memory and problem solving.

It just makes it difficult to focus on any single task and our productivity comes down. We have a lot more errors. So if we take all those different things and just say, I'm just going to work on one, maybe two things, we can actually do more with less. That's the first idea.

Yeah. So I think that the important thing here is when we do more with less, the second thing that starts to happen is actually a great catalyst, a great fuel for what happens is when we knock that one thing off the list or two things off the list, that win builds momentum, both for yourself and for your team or other people that are watching. They're like, oh, that's really great.

They're like, oh, that's really great.

I made some progress. It generates that momentum. And And when that momentum comes, we build confidence. Like, hey, I knocked that one thing off. I knocked that two things off. I'm ready to take on the next thing. And then that confidence takes us to number three and number four on the list.
