333. Choose Fewer Things. Do Them with Intention.
Join the Deciding Hour Priority Waitlist HERE!
As of October 16, here are 77 days left in 2026. You know you can't fit everything into them—and you don't need to. What you do need is a way to decide what deserves to be in the container of the rest of your year.
In this episode, I'm giving you a filter for making those decisions. We'll look at whether something actually matters, whether it belongs in this particular season, whether you can realistically give it what it requires, what outcome you want, when it will happen, and—perhaps most importantly—what you need to stop doing to make room for what matters.
Because using your time intentionally doesn't mean doing more. It means choosing fewer things and giving them your whole heart, attention, and energy. And when you deliberately decide how you want to spend the final days of your year, you have the opportunity to create an ending that changes the way you remember the entire year.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
How to decide what actually deserves a place in the remainder of your year.
-
Why not everything that matters to you has to happen before December 31st.
-
How to assess whether you realistically have the capacity for something.
-
Why important things may require you to say no to other things.
-
How defining your desired outcome makes it easier to know what you're actually creating.
-
Why putting what matters on your calendar is essential if you want it to happen.
-
How asking “What do I need to stop doing?” can create time, attention, and energy for what matters more.
-
Why fewer things, done with greater presence and intention, can create a better experience of your year.
In Short: You have 77 days left in the year, and you don't need to cram everything into them. Decide what matters most, filter out what doesn't belong, and deliberately create the space to give your chosen priorities your time, attention, and energy.
