Trailhead Thoughts

Stop Coasting. Start Sprinting.
Most people wait until the new year haze clears to get focused.
What if you had a clear 6-week plan before the year starts?
Let’s break that down.
📚Learn
Your results don’t just come from working hard. They come from working smart, in sprints.
Here’s the formula:
Set a clear goal.
Define your strategy.
List the work that supports it.
Break that work into 3 two-week sprints (6 weeks total).
Track execution, not just results.
Our sprint mindset is all about accountability:
First to yourself (did I do the work?)
Then to the work (did the work, work?)
🤔Think
Ask yourself:
Am I finishing at least 80% of the tasks I commit to each sprint?
If not, why?
Too much on your list?
Wrong priorities?
Low energy or excitement?
Lack of skill or clarity?
If you’re checking fewer than 4 out of 5 boxes consistently, it’s a signal to adjust.
💪 Act
Here’s what to do before the new year hits:
Write down your goal, strategy, and key tasks.
Plan your first 3 two-week sprints - what work will you accomplish? What are your Daily & Weekly metrics?
At the end of each sprint:
Reflect - did I do the work?
Review - is the work helping me reach the goal?
Adjust - remove, refine, or double down
Start now. Don’t coast into 2026.
We’d love to know what sprints you are planning before the new year starts.
