What do you want to accomplish in Q4?

Happy mid-September and welcome back to The Stanza. Now would be a great time to brainstorm goals for Q4, and the habits you need to implement in your daily life to reach those goals. A particularly helpful exercise:

• 3 quarterly goals

• 2-3 monthly milestones to reach those goals

• 3 daily habits to get to those monthly milestones

As an accountability partner, you’ll be seeing a monthly check-in in this section of The Stanza’s weekly digest for the remainder of the year ;)

A preview of this week’s issue: an extra lengthy Internet Picks section because there’s just too many interesting things happening! Enjoy!
