πŸ‘‹ Well.... Hello 2026

Published about 1 month agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hello friend,

In my last email, I mentioned that I was taking a couple of weeks off over the festive period, so you wouldn't be receiving your usual weekend email digest from me today. Regular service resumes next weekend, I promise, but in the meantime, I wanted to pop into your inbox to wish you a Happy New Year.

(As you can see, I have been experimenting with GIFs; if you don't see a moving image above, you should be able to see it on the original blog post here.)

It's not too late to review 2025 and pick a word for 2026. If you need some help structuring your review, this post should help. I also explain my current annual review structure (along with my other routines) in the Personal Systems Pack.

My word for 2026 is STRENGTH. If you'd like to know more about what that means for me, I have written about it here.

Finally, I have a short /Now page update for you to mark the end of December. I encourage you to consider starting a /Now page in 2026, as it's a fun monthly check-in with some gentle public accountability for your goals and experiments.

That's all from me today. Have a great week, and I will be in touch again next weekend (with a jam-packed email digest).

Best wishes,

Martine

Hello friend, I hope you are having a restful weekend. I took some time off this week with no specific plans and spent the time decluttering my home, seeing a few friends, and continuing my half marathon training. The weather was rubbish, but the week has been relaxing and restorative. During this downtime, I reflected on my relationship with social media. I left Facebook years ago and have not regretted that decision. I deleted TikTok from my phone over a year ago, and I only remembered its...

Hello friend, Happy weekend. I am pleased to report that my annoying chest infection is (finally) on its way out, and now all I have to shift is a bit of a cold. I hope that you've managed to avoid the many bugs that seem to be around at the moment. I am delighted to be in your inbox today and have some gems to share, so let's get to it. 🎧 ✏️ Voice Note and Doodle Essay This week, I have a voice note (podcast) and doodle essay for you.
