Today’s episode is all about Q5 – the last two months of the year! I share my thoughts on why this time period feels “special”, the inherent fun parts and challenges, and my current approach to goal setting in this celebratory season.

    For your open house, we did a Sunday morning hot chocolate and cinnamon buns (Swedish fika style) and it worked really well as a casual, low prep hang. I feel like people have so many evening invites that a casual morning hang is really nice. We’ve not got time before Christmas so are going to shift it until January.

    Great episode! I like the reframe of the categories you chose. I love this season, but also it is A LOT! I just did my November planning but think I’ll try looking at December as well and see if Q5 might be a good option for my planning purposes as well. I just started a new job 2 weeks ago, so my last 2 months of the year really do have a different feel.

    I loved today’s episode and your reframing the domains. I may try that, too, to change it up. I have a big work event in early November and once that’s done, I’m going to plan out the rest of the year.

    Also, I ordered a Hobonichi Cousin this year after hearing so many good things. It arrived today and I’m looking forward to setting it up. Thanks for all of your photos and descriptions. It made it easy to see what it’s like in real life.
