UP FRONT: 

So, You’ve Already Blown Your New Year’s Resolution—Here’s What to Do About It

Welcome to Day One of 2025. How’s that New Year’s resolution treating you?

Oh, wait—you’ve already missed a workout, snacked on the cookies, or ignored the email you promised you’d send. Guess what? You’re not alone.

Most people break their resolutions faster than you can say, “New Year, Same Me.”

But this year can still be different. Seriously.

Here’s why most resolutions fail: they’re big, fluffy dreams with no focus. It’s like trying to juggle ten flaming torches without knowing how to juggle.

Enter Gary Keller’s genius from The One Thing. The idea? Success isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing less.

Keller asks a powerful question:

What’s the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

Let that sink in.

Focus on Your ONE Thing

This isn’t about multitasking or crushing an endless to-do list. It’s about clarity. If you want 2025 to be your breakthrough year, stop chasing a million goals. Find the ONE Thing that matters most to your business, health, or personal growth right now. Then, give it your laser focus.

Here’s how to put this into action:

1. Ask the Question: What’s the one thing you can do today that will move the needle? Not ten things, not five. ONE.

• Want to grow your business? Draft the email for that dream client.

• Need to get healthier? Prep a healthy meal instead of ordering takeout.

2. Block the Time: Keller calls it time-blocking. Carve out non-negotiable time for your ONE Thing. Even 15 minutes of focused effort can spark massive momentum.

3. Track Your Progress: At the end of the day, ask: Did I crush my ONE Thing? Success builds on itself, and tracking keeps you accountable.

Why This Works

When you focus on your ONE Thing daily, the clutter and overwhelm fade away. You’re no longer spinning plates; you’re building bricks. Each action compounds, making everything else easier—or irrelevant.

2025 can be the year you break through, but only if you stop trying to do everything and start mastering your ONE Thing.

So, what’s your ONE Thing today? Write it down. Commit. And go DO it.

P.S. I’ve got more strategies coming to help you nail your ONE Thing and make this your best year yet. Let’s do this!

STRATEGIC THINKING:

How AI Can Save You Hours—and Protect You from YouTube Rabbit Holes

YouTube is an incredible resource, but it’s easy to lose hours sifting through videos, many of which overpromise and underdeliver. As a PrideNomad juggling work, travel, and life, your time is too valuable to waste on BS. That’s where AI can step in as a powerful tool to save you time and sharpen your focus.

The Problem: Too Much Content, Too Little Value

Many YouTube videos are packed with buzzwords, vague promises, and surface-level advice. For example, a recent video promised “instant YouTube monetization without subscribers or watch hours.”

It sounded great, but upon review, the content was basically BS. This is where AI shines: it can quickly vet videos and reveal whether they’re worth your time.

The AI Hack: Let Technology Be Your Gatekeeper

Here’s how you can use AI to streamline your YouTube experience:

1. Grab the Transcript: Most YouTube videos have transcripts you can access. Tools like Glasp make it easy to download them.

2. Feed It to ChatGPT (or similar AI): Paste the transcript into an AI tool and ask questions like:

• Is this video worth watching?

• What are the key takeaways?

• What actions should I take based on this?

3. Decide Quickly: AI provides a summary, flags key points, and helps you decide whether watching the video is necessary—or if you can skip it entirely.

This process saves time, reduces distractions, and ensures that you only focus on content that aligns with your goals.

Why It Works

AI cuts through the noise and delivers clarity. It not only summarizes content but also highlights actionable insights, making your decision-making faster and easier. By avoiding fluff and bad advice, you free up more time to focus on what truly matters.

Your Takeaway

With so much content out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of watching everything. Instead, let AI act as your personal gatekeeper. It’s a simple yet powerful way to protect your time, boost your productivity, and stay laser-focused on your goals.
