Progress Is Pleasing: A January Reset That Works

My sweet friends 🤍
If you’re feeling a little foggy after the holidays, distracted, behind, or like everything is slightly “off," this episode is for you. Today isn’t about restarting your whole life. It’s a reset. A soft landing into 2026 with some simple systems that help your brain breathe again.

What this episode is really about:

Resetting, not reinventing.

Getting the noise out of your head and into one place (because progress is pleasing to the brain).

Creating evidence that the day moved forward.

Recapturing our time, attention, and talent (instead of handing it to doom scrolling).

Key takeaways (quick + clear):
✅ Progress calms the brain. Open loops create mental noise.
✅ A brain dump is a reset button. The goal isn’t to do it all—the goal is to see it.
✅ Saving something to your phone isn’t an action step. (Ask me how I know 😂)
✅ One irreversible task a day builds momentum and self-trust.
✅ When nothing in your environment reminds you what matters, you lose focus. That’s why boards work.

January Challenge: One Irreversible Task a Day
An irreversible task is something that leaves evidence and can’t be easily undone:

A workout 

A journal page

Reading a chapter

Hanging a picture

Styling a shelf

Completing one project step
