Hello all.
Most of us (myself included) rush into the new year, without noticing that our time, attention and energy (aka our most precious resources!) are already being spent in very particular (not always helpful) ways.
Whether it’s intentional or not, we’re always prioritising something.
And ultimately, what we prioritise becomes the sum of our life…
With that (slightly sobering) thought in mind, I’ve noted down a few questions I think can be useful to ask around this time of year.
Whether you’ve set goals or would just like to feel more aligned with your priorities, they’ll help you sort the wheat from the chaff in your life for 2026, and beyond.
Ask yourself:
If someone followed me around for a few weeks, would they be able to tell what my priorities are?
What feels important to me in theory, but isn’t currently reflected in how I spend my time?
What decision would simplify my life the most right now, even if it feels uncomfortable at first?
What am I currently treating as important or urgent that doesn’t actually deserve that much attention?
If I could only make one part of my life easier this year, which part would give me the biggest return?
What do I need to protect in my week for everything else to work better?
At the end of this year, what do I want to be able to say I deliberately chose?
The questions aren’t here to judge you or push you into some extreme life overhaul.
They’re just a way to help you notice what’s currently filling your days, and make a few decisions about what you actually want from your life, before the year races away and suddenly it’s Christmas again and you don’t know where 2026 went…
You don’t need to answer them perfectly nor do you need to action every response.
It’s just an invitation for you to have a think.
AND, we’ll actually be running through them during tomorrow’s coaching call, so if you’d prefer to do them with me instead, join us. As a reminder it’s from 12.30-1pm and here’s the zoom link:

Maybe see you there. If not, and if you do try them, I’m always keen to hear how you get on.
