Why Your Q1 Goals Didn’t Happen (Again)
Take a quick audit of the first quarter of 2026. How much progress did you actually make towards that dream/goal/thing you've always wanted?
I'm sure you have your "reasons" why it didn't happen. See if any of these sound familiar:
- The beginning of the year is always so hectic. I just didn't have time.
- Q2 is when I'll start, I promise.
- As soon as I get back from spring break, THEN I'll start.
- You don't understand, things are just hectic right now.
I bet if you did the same audit in 2025 (and 2024, 2023, 2022...), you were saying the exact same thing. There are so many lines we feed ourselves to justify doing absolutely nothing. Whether it's starting that new project, learning a new skill, or slimming down a few pounds, the "perfect moment" rarely happens on its own. You have to take real, deliberate action.
In my book, The Excuse Index, I provide you with practical strategies to overcome all this frustrating procrastination so that you can finally GET MOVING. If you're tired of watching months slip into years, this is for you.
