Hey, this is Greg Klunis here.

Listen, we are going to be continuing our five-part series on procrastination.

I know I haven't published in a little while.

I took a bit of a break to spend some quality time with my family

and make sure that I was refreshed and enjoying my holiday.

I hope you did as well.

But this episode is not the procrastination episode.

This I just wanted to drop really quickly today 1231 2016. It is 1228 PM

Eastern Standard Time here in New York City and we are just about halfway done with the last day of 2016.

And so I wanted to drop this here because I think this is an important day.

This is quite possibly one of the most important days of your year.

And here's why. Because what you do today will set the foundation of what your 2017 looks like.

You know, this time last year I had just gotten my journal, I had just quit my job, and I had just started to build my life, the life that I now have.

And I was reading back through those journal entries from this time last year.

And one of the things I noticed was that I've had a really great year this year,

and a huge reason was because I prepared for it was because the last couple of days of 2015

I worked my tail off. I put in the time. I hustled, I did not take the vacation that everyone else took and that

put me in a great position that allowed me to start 2016. 2016 strong and already moving towards my goals.

So it wasn't about resolutions, it wasn't about wanting to change my life, I was already in the process of it.

And that's the important part.

It's not about setting a resolution because the hardest part of hitting a goal is starting it.

I'm sure you know that. I'm sure you've had that experience. We all procrastinate. We all put things to the side.
