Description

Q2 can be your most important quarter in life + business!Most people treat the second quarter of the year as a time to simply "sail through," coasting on the fumes of their January resolutions. But according to Laurie Reynoldson, Q2 is your secret weapon for finishing the year strong. In this episode, Laurie breaks down the seasonal psychology of the year—from the "shot out of the gate" energy of Q1 to the "balls to the wall" panic of Q4—and explains why January is actually a terrible time to start new habits. She introduces a more agile way to live: using the first 13 weeks of the year as a data-gathering phase, then using Q2 to make the tactical pivots necessary to actually achieve your "Best Life." Key Takeaways:The Winter Trap: Why starting big goals in the dark, cold days of January often leads to disappointment and how to use Q1 as a "toe dip" instead. The Data-Driven Life: How to move beyond "checking boxes" to using habit tracking as a tool for personal information and better decision-making. The Best Life Planner: Laurie shares the science-backed framework of her custom planner, including the "Morning 5, 10, 5" routine to prime your brain for success. The Quarterly Review: Five critical questions to ask yourself right now to assess what is serving you and what needs to be left behind. Sneaky Success: Why making "big moves" in Q2 is easier because nobody else expects them. What’s New at the School of Midlife:The Tech Overhaul: A behind-the-scenes look at the new systems, website, and email platform launching to better serve the community. High-Level Leadership Collective: An exclusive announcement about a new small-group initiative for midlife women featuring in-person intensives and virtual support. Upcoming Workshops: Short, tactical virtual sessions focused on midlife clarity and focusLINKS + MENTIONS:Best Life PlannerSchedule a discover call with Laurie📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩 Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
