Can you believe it? As of today, we only have about 91 days left in 2024! That’s a little over three months – and interestingly, research shows that most people only stick to their New Year’s goals for an average of 3.74 months. So, if you started the year with big dreams but life got in the way, here’s some good news: you still have time to tackle at least one of your 2024 goals!
I’ll be honest: I also hit the ground running in the first 3 to 4 months of the year, only to slowly regress to old habits. And I always feel a bit sad when summer comes to an end. I love the warm days, the flowers, and the veggies that lift my mood each time I step out onto my patio. There’s nothing like seeing the vibrant colors and smelling the basil, thyme, and tomatoes we grow. We spend so much time outside during summer, often eating meals on the patio and enjoying our outdoor space.
So when I know that the flowers and veggies will soon wilt, it’s hard not to feel a little down. But when I learned that fall is the perfect time for productivity, it shifted my mood and mindset. Fall is baked into our DNA as a season for focus and structure. We’ve all grown up associating it with going back to school, and as parents, we go through the motions of getting our kids back into a routine and adjusting from summer to a more organized schedule. It’s everywhere – from back-to-school ads to the energy shift we feel as summer fades away.
I’ve decided to use that same “back-to-school” energy for myself, and now I’m excitedly planning out the rest of the year. Fall is the time to refocus and realign with our goals.
So, whether you want to:
- Learn a new technology to boost your productivity
- Improve your communication skills for more impactful conversations
- Declutter your home or reorganize your office space
- Tackle that overflowing inbox (we’ve all been there!)
- Try a fun, quick 7-minute, 7-day workout challenge to jumpstart your fitness (we all have 7 minutes!)
- Or simply commit to buying and cooking healthy food for you and your family…
It’s not too late! Use this season to build structure and focus on you. Small, consistent actions over these last few months can lead to big changes.

Mean Girl No More Testimonial
“If you are interested in growing into your dream career, if you truly want to rise—not just climb—this book will resonate with you. It is not, thankfully, a guide book about “getting rid of” mean girls. It is, in truth, a guide to creating your own path upwards and around them, and sharing that path with the other good, smart women the mean girls work so hard to disempower. Peggy shares so many things we’ve all experienced, but hardly ever talked about. Tapped into 100% of her own worth and power, her energy and glow puts you in that ‘I’ll have what she’s having’ mindset.”– Donna Price
