Missed setting your New Year's Resolutions last week? Good!

I take you on a deep dive to explain how our current calendar system came to set January 1 as the new year...and why I think it was a mistake. I also discuss the ways I help my marketing clients set goals they can actually meet, and how I am changing the focus of the time management planner I created.
