#268. Before I go on podcast-sabbatical, I’m leaving you with an assignment: your Q4 agenda.

This isn’t a winter arc, a life reset, or a list of impossible habits to master before January; it’s 20 worthwhile things to do with the last few months of the year. Think: getting your money and digital life in order, hosting people you love, learning a forever dish, starting something new, building a personal archive, doing something intimidating, and finally dealing with the things you’ve been putting off.

It’s a mix of life admin, personal development, fun, and a little seasonal maintenance — so you can finish the year feeling like you actually lived, not just survived, the holiday chaos.

Grab your Notes app and get started! I’ll see you in 2027. 🤍
