🌟 Enjoy a special preview of this month's call replay. We're sharing a longer segment this month that includes both of our opening reflections on joy, humanity, and sustainable energy. With intense news constantly flooding our nervous systems on top of everything else demanding our time, energy, and attention, we wanted to share the full context of why carving out space for joy isn't self-indulgent; it's essential for sustaining your capacity to show up and act. If you're not already a paid subscriber, consider upgrading to access the full recording, including Q&A, and be part of upcoming sessions.
Thank you to everyone who joined our January Monthly Momentum Call!
We started our call this month with an invitation and a challenge: carve out space in your weeks for joy. If you've been with us for a while, this doesn't surprise you. We've never followed January's cultural script of go-go-go, hit the ground running, if not now then never.
We're all about getting things done, but we also know January can be about embracing the warm-up and reentry instead of sprinting out of the gate. Using it this way sets you up for sustained momentum rather than burnout down the line.
That foundation of sustainable energy shaped our entire conversation this month. From managing burnout cycles to creating physical anchors for your vision, we explored how to balance urgent action with the capacity required to sustain it. Here are some of the key themes we explored:
-
Carving Out Intentional Joy: Why dedicating 30-60 minutes weekly to non-work activities that bring you joy isn't optional but essential for sustainable progress.
-
Breaking the Burnout Cycle: Using the Five-Project Rule to identify what to eliminate when overcommitment creates overwhelm.
-
Sequencing Projects to Create Momentum: Transforming overwhelming vertical to-do lists into horizontal sequences that reveal the single next action.
-
Permission vs. ROI in Project Selection: When a project keeps calling to you for years, choosing it isn't about justifying the return but giving yourself permission to say joy is reason enough.
-
Vision Permanence for Visual Thinkers: Creating physical anchors (like large whiteboards) to keep annual vision and quarterly goals constantly visible.
We hope to see you for one of our February community calls, where we'll explore bridging the vision-execution gap.
