    🌴 8. The two-ticket connection strategy

    Today, I want to share an insightful idea that stuck with me from a Christmas lunch in 2023, hosted by my friend Kate Peardon. At this gathering, I chatted with Nicole Dyson, an inspiring figure in education and innovation. She suggested a brilliant strategy for enhancing relationships: whenever you're interested in an event, just buy two tickets and decide who to invite later. This proactive approach can really help in making those catch-ups happen, whether it's a concert, stand-up comedy, or a show. It even adds an element of spontaneity and adventure into your social life. For 2025, consider adopting this strategy—buy two tickets in advance and figure out your guest afterwards. And remember, it's perfectly fine to go solo sometimes too! This tip from Nicole has been a game-changer for me, and I hope it brings more joy and connection into your life as well.

    🌴 6. Your not-to-do-list

    In this episode, Leanne Hughes dives into the concept of a 'not-to-do list,' an activity inspired by Tim Ferris that helps outline tasks and commitments you want to avoid in the future. Leanne walks you through setting up this list using your calendar, noting which activities sparked joy and which ones didn't. She shares personal reflections about how her list evolved over the years and how blocking time around major commitments has enhanced her productivity and work-life balance. Key takeaways include the importance of intentional planning, setting recovery periods, and the benefits of recurring 'deep work' periods. Leanne encourages you to evaluate your past year's engagements and make deliberate choices that align with your goals for the upcoming year, stressing the value of this exercise in providing clarity and focus.
