The last few times I have been asked, “How has your week been?”, I answered “Been a busy week.” A change from answering this question with “It’s been good.” I miss “it’s been good” weeks. The last time it was good was three weeks ago.

I told myself 2025 was going to be more “it’s been good” weeks with a few weeks of being busy in between the good weeks. I did not want to have continuous busy weeks. It’s easy to slip back into old habits.

I caught myself answering the same question today and was reminded that I need to rethink how I spend my time. Things need to change.

I remembered how it feels when it was good weeks versus how I don’t feel good when it’s busy weeks. I was also reminded why it’s good to have themes and a plan for the year. It’s easy to coast through the year if you don’t have basic plans for how you want to spend your time.
