Episode notes
Use New Year As Your Career Checkup
- Block off time each year to pause and run a career audit to see what's working and what isn't.
- Use New Year's as a natural moment to reflect because choices compound over the year.

- Visualize priorities as front- and back-burners to see what needs more attention.
- Move items intentionally between burners instead of reacting to whatever arrives.

- Treat these as signals to reassess rather than automatic reasons to quit.
