Welcome to 2025 and a Fun New Year's Task
Our next Power Hour is 4th January at 10 am.
Hello everyone and welcome to 2025.
How do you feel about New Year’s Resolutions?
Love them, loathe them, ignore them?
I prefer to have an overarching vision for the year and I’m keeping it simple: Work less, earn more. That’s going to be my mantra from now on, what’s yours?
A bit like the LinkedIn round-up URL, I shared with you in the last newsletter that 300k professionals used to share their 2024 highlights (including several GWDC members), here’s another exercise that has been gathering momentum, this time to help you prioritise your year ahead.
It comes via Regenerative Business Mentor ‘Jannine Barron’ and it’s called an Energy Audit:
Here’s how it works:
She says “It should take about 10 minutes! Grab a piece of paper and do this over a cuppa right now!
Draw a line down the centre and label two columns:
1 - What FILLS you with energy
( walks, deep conversations with clients, walking in nature, gym, nephews)
2 - What DRAINS your energy
(looking at phone first thing, a to do list, food, busy desk top, full cloud storage, emails unanswered, colleagues)
In each column, list all the people, places and things in your life that FILL you or DRAIN you of energy.
Add to the list any habits or rituals that energise or exhaust you.
Compost at least one thing - just stop it now - don't do it anymore. Not the whole list but just one thing (or more) from the drain column right now and feel the space and lightness!
Now don't fill that space, just enjoy how it feels with that gone.
Small changes = long term results.”
Our next Power Hour is this SATURDAY - a perfect opportunity to try out this Energy Audit plus any other tasks or work you have been putting off.
Here’s how it works:
We meet on Zoom at 10 am and share what we want to accomplish for the next hour with the group.
We turn off our cameras and sound and get down to business!
I turn on the timer and set it for 60 minutes.
When the hour is over, we come back into the Zoom room and share what we have achieved.
