Fwd: Forget Resolutions: How to Plan an Epic 2025

Traditional resolutions are notorious for being abandoned by February. Instead, Itzler's approach is to focus on adding one new habit per quarter. It’s a far more realistic way to create lasting change, because it allows you to really hone in on one thing at a time. Think about this, that’s 20 new habits in five years!

Itzler's philosophy is to inject “new-ness” into your life with a handful of mini-adventures throughout the year. Think 1-2 day experiences, spaced out every couple of months.

These don't have to be complex; it's about experiencing something different.

Forget broad resolutions. Instead, Itzler suggests choosing one big, hard, year-defining challenge. He calls this a "Misogi," which stems from an ancient Japanese water cleansing ritual. Your Misogi can be personal or professional - anything that will push you outside your comfort zone and make 2025 truly memorable.
