What One Thing Do Want to Accomplish Before the End of 2023?

At the turn of the sea­son, I was think­ing about the dis­tinc­tion between sum­mer brain and Sep­tem­ber brain and when we get back into the game.

In my case, sum­mer brain means being present and enjoy­ing activ­i­ties and qual­i­ty time with fam­i­ly and friends. Sep­tem­ber brain means being more effec­tive, strate­gic, and for­ward-look­ing and ‑think­ing.

The one thing

One of the most impor­tant things we do, as lead­ers, is pri­or­i­tiz­ing and fig­ur­ing out how to focus our­selves, our teams and our resources on the very few things that mat­ter most to our organizations.

With that in mind and con­sid­er­ing all the impor­tant things you may be work­ing on or think­ing about at Work (career, mon­ey, invest­ments), for your Self (being hap­py, strong and healthy) and in your Life (fam­i­ly, friends, community):

What is the #1 thing that you would like to accom­plish between now and the end of the year that would be the biggest cat­a­lyst or have the great­est impact?
