On today’s episode of Make + Design, Carina delivers strategies on how to approach the last 90 days of a year. Even though it’s fun to start a new year with new goals, Carina finds a lot of power in starting new goals on October 1st every year.
This process helps her visualize what she would like to accomplish by the end of the current year. The momentum from the last 90 days of her year would help her hit the ground running with goals in the new year. One of the questions Carina asks when making these goals is, “How do I live my best life now?” Another big benefit to setting goals for the last 90 days of the year is that it allows you to fit family traditions into your last 90 days of the year so that you’re not only setting awesome goals but you’re also making those last 90 days memorable.
