This Year, Get S**t Done...

Forget resolutions, let's get down to business with the roadmap that will make this your most epic year ever.

- By Sharon D'Silva

You already know how the first month of the year tends to play out: brimming with fresh enthusiasm, you jot down an ambitious to-do list - whether it's in your favourite planner or scrawled on a napkin in the middle of the New Year's Eve party. Fast forward three days, and those resolutions? Well, let's just say they're set to gather dust faster than your gym membership.

Not this time! 2025 is all about ditching those excuses, embracing the messy middle, unapologetically going after what you want, and getting shit done - on your terms. And here's the kicker: it's not about being perfect - it's about showing up, making progress, and giving yourself a high-five for every small win along the way. After all, who says you can't have it all, right?

We're letting you in on 12 ways to be present, get things done, and cheer yourself on every step of the way...

SET BOUNDARIES LIKE A BOSS BABE

If 2024 had you hiding in the office restroom for a quick cry thanks to that co-worker who seemed to make your life harder just for sport, or if you felt like a 24/7 therapist in your friend's love life saga, it's time to rewrite the narrative. This year, practise the art of saying 'no' to what doesn't serve you - because, believe it or not, protecting your peace is the ultimate power move.

You've probably heard the advice, “Do one thing that scares you.” Here's your sign to lean into it. Whether it's setting work boundaries, carving out solo time, or politely declining drama that's not yours to fix, consider this the perfect opportunity to set boundaries that actually work for you, not against you. Remember, every 'no' you deliver is a 'yes' to yourself.

1. Set boundaries

2. Prioritise self-care
