End of Year Figuring
End of Year Challenge
Around 60 some days before the end of the year, I start to feel about the end of the year coming.
Right now it’s a long way out, but soon enough I’ll be writing: Today is X days until the end of the year, and I’ll be feeling that!
Soon it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then BOOM the year is over.
Do you feel that?
Do you notice that?
Does that mean anything to you?
Do you get any “the end of the year is approaching” feelings?
I do. Each year, End of Year vibes start when I start feeling Fall. It’s a mix of anxiety and stress, energy and enthusiasm. I get desirous to get really clear and intentional to finish the year. How do I want to spend these last days of this year, is a STRONG consideration.
In 2023 these feelings ultimately led to me doing an End of Year Challenge, and it 2024 I felt to do something like it again because what I had done in the previous year, worked!
In 2024 not only did I do my own Challenge, but I also invited others to do it too, and I guided a small intense group through the first 30 + 30 Days to the end of the Year Challenge!
If you’ve ever wondered about my Challenges, if you’ve done one and are ready for another, if you’re anything like or between: stressed, anxious, desirous, frustrated, mediocre happy, want to make progress on something, want to let something go, and much in between and other, this Challenge will work for you if you work it.
It’s a way to finish a year and start a next one.
Instead of getting through the rest of the year and starting tomorrow, which at that point it becomes a New Year’s resolution, you can spend the last SIXTY days of the existing year “getting my your together” where you’ll finish the year strong or calmed or centered or aligned, or whatever you want to be and very primed to start a New Year.
I can’t tell you enough how important it is to take your life seriously, to look at your self and your stuff, orient and organize, consider what you want and do it.
Anytime is a good time to change. But sometimes we feel more drawn to change than others. Is this one of those time for you?
This video explains my EOY Challenge and why I think you should consider doing it too! Orient to your self and your life and the rest of this year and everything gets better and easier, guaranteed!
2024 EOY Challenge
Reasons not to do it
-
Today I thought of myself, and the times I would have said NO to something like this. Times I would not even be on the fence for something like this. The proud workaholic I used to be, would be nowhere near the actual fence actually. I’d be squarely at least an acre over decidedly way too busy, with too much going on to even remotely consider doing anything extra, and especially not for myself or about myself.
Not a good time for extracurricular EXTRAS, absolutely not. Even just the thought of the holidays used to have me cancelling things. No time for the gym, no time to read, no time for extras and things dropped from my list like the flies that are no where to be find when you pick up the fly swatter! I certainly was not adding anything extra, except extra cooking, extra shopping, extra stressing, extra cleaning, and overtime I didn’t get overtime pay for!
If you never have the time, you’ll never do it.

“The holidays” is a terrible time to add anything extra. There’s already so much stress and to do there. Just the thought of the holidays used to have me cancelling things. No time for the gym, no time to read, things dropped from my list and I certainly wasn’t adding anything extra. The only extras were extra cooking, extra shopping, extra stressing, extra cleaning. Those extra things to do!
No, it’s not a good time to do anything extra! -
Too busy, need to clear some things first. There will always be things to do and you will always feel like you should be more ready.
-
too much going on, this is not a priority
-
don’t have enough money, not a good time to spend any “extra” money, not worth it
-
of all the reasons, this is the BEST reason not to do this! If you don’t have the want to, please stay far away from here.
Whether it was about the holidays, the work, not feeling prepared, not having time, the time not being right, it not feeling worth it, not having enough money, whatever the significant reason or a special mix of several reasons, the point is, I didn’t have it. Not the time, not the money, not the want to. And now I say the only good reason not to do this, if you feel any draw TO do it, is if you don’t have the want to. If you don’t have the want to, you certainly should NOT do this. This is NOT for you.
Beyond THAT, this Challenge PAIRS well with not ready, very busy, no time, not enough money, and all the other great reasons (excuses) you have to not do this, when you otherwise feel TO do this!
How we decide such things, is such a thing, huh?! When is it really a bad time or when are you not making the time good? It’s always when to which!
30 + 30 Days of The Rest of the Year. Are we doing it?!
