048: Set Yourself Up for a Great 2022 with These 3 Questions

01/12/22 • 11 min

Are you feeling 22? (Signing in my best Taylor Swift voice).

If not, maybe you haven’t officially said goodbye to 2021. Or maybe haven’t come out yet of the holiday busyness or jumped right into work deadlines. Wouldn’t you like to clear your head? Allow yourself to begin the new year with a fresh slate? Do you want to set yourself up for a powerful, productive, and “ready to tackle anything that 2022 can throw at you” mindset?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this is the episode for you. I’ve got a quick exercise that you can do by yourself. What I am talking about is just three simple questions to review what you did or accomplished, take note of what you learned, and let go of all the crap that is holding you back.

So, grab a piece of paper, and let’s go!

[BONUS] Goodbye and Good Riddance to 2021. Hello 2022.

I wanted to pop in with this bonus episode to formally say goodbye and good riddance to 2021. Part of this is to look back on one of the most challenging years of my life to reflect. And to tell you how that year has shaped me and this podcast moving into 2022. And I’m not claiming 2022 as “my year” or the year to be all years, I am just hoping it isn’t the emotional rollercoaster 2021 was.

I also know I am not alone when I say that last year was a mess. We all have challenges, struggles, good times, and bad times. I hope that by sharing some of my life events and experiences with you, you’ll realize you’re not alone. I’m not alone. And even though we aren’t going through the exact same experiences at the same time, we can find comfort in knowing others have their own crap going on.

Let’s start with summarizing my 2021 in one phrase: Emotional Roller Coaster.

When I decided to create this episode, I started thinking about everything that I’ve been through in 2021. It wasn’t all bad. In fact, there were some really great things that happened. What kept popping in my head as I was reflected, was a roller coaster – with its slow-building hills, and fast drops and twists and turns. That image or feeling of being on a roller coaster is the perfect way for me to describe my life last year.

Can you relate?

I’ll give a quick recap of these highs and lows not to bore you with my personal life, but so you can understand some of the changes I’m making with my company Marketers Take Flight, and this podcast.

049: My System for Getting it All Done

Are you working harder than ever before, but feel like you’re not making progress?

Do you start each day stressed and end the day stressed and exhausted?

Worried about forgetting about an assignment or dropping a task?

As marketing professionals, and many of us as working moms, we have a lot on our minds all the time. And, these past two years haven’t helped anyone relieve this burden, in fact, it’s made it the worst any of us has experienced.

What if there was a way, a system per se, that provides one central tracking location for everything – work projects to personal events. A way to make measurable progress toward the goals that matter to you, instead of what’s put on your desk? If you could shift from trying to get everything done to get the right things done?

That’s impossible, right?

Wrong. It’s not impossible. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. I know because I have been using a system like this for years.
Listen to this episode to learn about my struggles before I found the Full Focus System and how it's helped me since.
