Ep 85: Ask Me in 3 Months (2020 version)

This episode is for anyone who has ONE BIG TASK they really want to get done before the end of the year.

It’s October, which means we have less than three months until the end of the year. And while 2020 has been one of the weirdest years in modern history, we still somehow have normal life things that have slipped through the cracks.

Let’s commit to choosing ONE thing we want to get done between now and the end of 2020 and share it as a way to stay accountable. Let’s make our future January 2021 selves super proud of how we finished the Wild West of 2020.
