How to End 2023 with a Bang
10 Ways to Celebrate Your Achievements, Learnings, and Fun
The end of the year is a special time. It is a time to look back at what we have done, learned, and enjoyed in the past 12 months. It is also a time to look forward to what we want to do, learn, and enjoy in the next 12 months. It is a time to celebrate our achievements, learnings, and fun.
We attach significance to the turning of the calendar, and when the calendar turns to a new year, it means more than learning to change a digit when we write a check — we’ve started a new chapter.
It is instructive for us to think about how we can get the most from the end of chapter 2023. Here are my ten recommendations for you:
1. Reconnect with an old friend or colleague.
You know who I mean. The person who came to your mind as you read that sentence. Make the effort to call or contact them. But do more than just say hello. If they live close, get together for a meal or an evening. If they live further away, schedule time for a long, relaxed phone call. However you connect, make sure that you spend time on more than just “the good old days” and the old stories. Learn about what this person is doing, their goals and dreams. And see what you can do to help them achieve those things.
