Before the year turns, take a gentle audit. Not a trial. A walk through the rooms of your work. Which tools earned their place. Which habits helped you think and which pulled you sideways. Keep your notes short and free of blame. You are a gardener here, not a judge.

Open your bag or drawer. Hold each item. Did it help often enough to live here. If yes, clean it and keep it. If not, move it along. Do the same with digital spaces. Files on the desktop. Pins in the browser. Notifications that promised help and delivered interruption.

This simple attention improves your future without large plans. You remove friction at the source. You put a little air back into the day. The next idea has a better chance to land because you cleared a place for it to rest.
