Two Paths to Choose From

We have two choices for how we spend the rest of 2024: Path A or Path B. Path A is the easy way out, where we coast and say “I’ll start back up in January.” But Path B is where the real fun begins. It’s where we treat 2024 like a beta test for 2025.

Path A: The Easy Way Out

Our brains are going to try and convince us to pick Path A. It’s the path of least resistance, where we put off making changes until the new year. But I want you to pick Path B. I want you to treat 2024 like a beta test for 2025.

Path B: The Beta Test

So, what does it mean to treat 2024 like a beta test for 2025? It means we’re going to experiment with our lives and find out what we want to work on in 2025. We’re not looking to stick with the perfect workout, or trying to build a flawless streak of running every day. We’re not trying to be 100% adherent to the optimized diet.

Experimentation is Key

We’re going to try new things, and that’s okay. We’re going to sign up for a class we’ve wanted to try, and see if it’s something we enjoy. We’re going to give ourselves permission to try and fail a different diet, and see what works for us. We’re going to experiment with different productivity strategies, and see what helps us stay focused.

Let Go of What Doesn’t Work

But we’re also going to let go of the strategies that don’t work for us. We’re going to stop trying to force ourselves to stick to a diet that makes us miserable, and start looking for something that makes us feel good. We’re going to stop trying to cram too much into our schedules, and start prioritizing what’s truly important.

What to Expect

So, what can you expect from treating 2024 like a beta test for 2025? You can expect to try new things, and see what works for you. You can expect to make mistakes, and learn from them. You can expect to find what you’re passionate about, and make time for it.

Conclusion

2024 is just a beta test for 2025. It’s a chance to experiment, try new things, and find what works for you. So, what are you going to test and try out this fall? Are you going to sign up for a class, or try a new diet? Are you going to experiment with a different productivity strategy, or try to let go of what doesn’t work?
