Hi, everyone! Jo Day here, and Happy New Year! Welcome to Creative Journeys and our first episode of 2025. Lucy and I are diving into one of my favourite exercises to kick off a new year: “Stop, Start, Do More Of.” This quick and focussed episode is packed with practical advice to help you align your life and business goals for the year ahead.

Episode Summary:
In this reflective yet action-oriented episode, Lucy and I lead you through an exercise to identify what we should stop doing, start doing, and do more of in 2025. From clearing out old habits and clutter to developing practices like gratitude and time blocking, we’re giving you tools to focus on what really matters. This is your roadmap to make 2025 your best year yet!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to reflect on 2024 and set clear goals for 2025.
• Strategies to identify what to stop doing in your personal and professional life.
• Simple habits to start, like gratitude practices and decluttering.
• Why doing more of what brings you joy and productivity is a game-changer.
• How tools like time blocking and OKRs can transform your year.

Key Takeaways:

• Stop: Leave behind habits and routines that no longer serve you, from procrastination to perfectionism.
• Start: Embrace practices that create positive momentum, like making your bed daily or decluttering one space at a time.
• Do More Of: Focus on practices that improve your well-being and productivity, such as prioritizing sleep or using time-blocking methods.
• Visualize December 2025 to work backward and create actionable steps toward your goals.
• Reflect, review, and refine your plans consistently to stay aligned.

Challenge of the Week:
