It’s hard to believe that we’re already counting down the days until we leap into 2022. Having a countdown like this can be valuable but also depressing if you let it. So let’s dive in with a set of questions to guide your reflection.

How often have you heard yourself responding to the question “how are you?” with “I’m fine, just busy.” If you’re like me, this was my answer for such a high percentage of my professional career. My other regular response that got a bit closer to how I was feeling was, “I’m fine, just tired.”

I’m sure I could get a lot of responses on the things that you watched that you loved or hated (and please do share those comments so I can curate my to-watch list), but the reason for this blog is really more about the why we sit down and binge watch or engage in hours of video game play.

Over the years, I have found myself saying..."I'm so busy, I don't know when I'll get x done"...  This feeling of being overwhelmed seems to permeate so many discussions we have with each other as we try to juggle family responsibilities, work, and our personal hobbies and interests.  For me, I've learned that I need to be clear on what my top priorities are for the day, week, or month ahead so that I can keep those on the forefront of my focus.
