EAP 141: Prepping & Planning for a Successful End to 2020 (Pandemic and All)

On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast, Kimi discusses her 3 recommended ways for making the most of the final quarter of 2020. It seems like everything is different in 2020, so it is important to plan and prepare for the next 3 months so they don’t slip away.

1.Allow for extra time – Include a buffer in your schedule surrounding certain activities that might take longer than normal such as traveling, going to doctors appointments, working with technology issues, or shopping.

2.Plan for holidays early – Talk to your family and loved ones sooner rather than later about what the holidays might look like this year. Will there need to be adjustments made to your usual traditions? Will you need to make new traditions this year? Will you need to stay local or are you going to travel? Do your best to keep everyone safe and be respectful, especially around those who might be high-risk.

3.Remember your primary goals – Keep a flexible mind as we have all had to do in 2020 but remain focused on your goals that you set for yourself, especially if the end is in sight. Live each day with intention and purpose, perhaps by setting micro-goals for yourself every day or every week to help keep you on track for your bigger goal.

While we all have high hopes that 2021 won’t be as unprecedented as 2020, that doesn’t mean that we should wish the next 3 months away. You can still accomplish a lot while accommodating for the current environment.
