Fall is Go Time!

Image shows a fox, a latte and a stack of notebooks. All of IA's favorite things! And has a Quote from Mel Robbins that says "Fall is go time. Fall is about you. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and your sweater and your new notebooks and let's get busy!

Ah, Mel Robbins - you had me at "NOTEBOOKS."

I just listened to episode 209 of the Mel Robbins Podcast. It was exactly the thing I needed to hear today. It reminded me that almost every time I've changed jobs, started looking for a new place to live, or even bought a new car, it's been in the fall.

She talks about how September is the perfect time for making big changes, to committing to new goals, and getting productive.I couldn't agree more.

* September is when everything changes. The leaves, the weather, our routines, the TV schedule... :) All of these cues can help your brain be prepped and ready to start something new.

* We are hard wired for 'Back to School' mode. We grew up every year with it and it still surrounds us. Crayons and notebooks on sale at the grocery store, new traffic patterns as the school bus once again blocks my route, etc.

* If you start a goal in September for 2024 you only have a few months to accomplish it before the end of year. Take adavantage of Parkinson's law which says that work expands to fill the time available. Give yourself a deadline!

What about you? Did you get yourself a new notebook (or 5)? Does fall inspire you to start new things?

We'd love to hear your ideas!
