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.

And what we're seeing is that we're not only knocking off things one and two and three and four, but we're taking on harder things and we're successful with them because we have a confidence and a momentum that's built with that. And just that third idea is that, you know, it's not that when we take the 25 things and narrow it down to one or two, that the other things don't happen. That's not it.

We're just basically saying it doesn't come off the list. It's just down the list. Right. So we just prioritize it. We look and say, what is it that I need to do right now? What's my most important thing or what's maybe one of the easiest things to just get some momentum and feel good about this? However you want to pick what number one is going to be.

But we just take the other things and shift them to later. We're going to start to do things in series, not in parallel. And one of my favorite quotes, and I think it's so true when we talk about this as our own team and with our clients, is that, If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority, right?

So I think this is a good concept to understand and to really focus on and say we're just going to do a couple few things. One thing that we work with our clients on, especially as we're setting mission, vision, goals, objectives, and key results and things like that for the upcoming year or whatever it is that they're planning is, we love the book Measure What Matters by John Doerr.

And he talks about this idea of objectives and key results. And in there, he too, and that system really focuses on a couple of few things, right? Not a hundred things, but what are the one macro idea and maybe two, possibly three objectives that fall under that big umbrella, that key rallying cry. And then how do we measure that? How do we keep progress among those things?

And we do them in sprints. And I love that idea. I love that concept.

No, just keep going with those goals. I think let's not be a quitter. Let's put that second Friday in January aside and say now we're going to really lean into it and focus and prioritize so that we can make a really powerful and impactful 2025. Love it.
