The highlights of 2020 for me were...
During lockdown: binge watching the entire series of Schitt’s Creek and not leaving my room. Never had that kind of guilt-free luxury before!
What I'm most grateful for in 2020 is...
That my family and friends are very much alive, healthy and keeping our collective spirits up despite the pandemic.
What I've learnt about myself this year is...
That I have a deeper reservoir of energy than I thought. It's not just the energy to do things, but also to keep things positive and fun for me and my team at work.
A habit that I don't want to carry over to 2021 is...
Giving myself excuses not to go to the gym, and telling myself I have other pressing matters when having a good sweat is the best remedy for stress.
How I plan to make the most of what's left of 2020...
I read somewhere that one should never waste a crisis. It is the perfect time to change things around. I made some organisational and structural changes at work which will, hopefully, position us better to move forward.
