Summary

I told my counselor a few weeks ago that I was afraid of "Losing my edge." His answer surprised me and I bet it will surprise you too. In Part 2 of this special three-part series, I’m sharing the second of three very specific gifts you need to give yourself this holiday season.

Just like the first gift, it’s free, fits all, and you can't find it for sale online, in stores, or in catalogs. I’ll tell you what it is in this episode! Missed Part 1? That’s okay, this isn’t the show, "Lost." You won't have completely missed the smoke monster and feel like, "Why is there a polar bear on this tropical island?" You’ll still know what’s going on. Part 3 coming soon!

In this episode:
Catch up with Part 1 of this 3 episode series
Finish more goals with the Finish Calendar!

0:43.3	for seven very specific reasons number one the finish calendar is big and
0:47.5	beautiful it's 36 inches tall by 25 inches wide this thing is massive it gives
0:52.4	you enough space to actually plan things each day number two reason that I
0:56.8	love it finish calendar is reversible you've got a vertical side and a wide
1:01.4	orientation side that's like two calendars for the price of one me myself I
1:05.6	prefer vertical but I also like that it comes in two versions traditional paper
1:10.0	and dry erase number three reason I love it it makes time real when someone says
1:14.3	hey John can you do that project in the next six weeks that time feels
1:18.4	fictional to me six weeks from now I can't even wrap my head around what will
1:22.7	be going on then I need to be able to see the whole year not just talk about
1:26.9	it number four reason I love it it's a Monday focus calendar which means each
1:30.9	week starts with Monday a lot of calendars start the week with Sunday but
1:33.9	that's not how my head works Monday is the first day of the week to me and
1:37.4	Sunday is the last for example I don't know anyone who plans their new week on
1:41.7	Saturday night because Sunday is the first day of the week number five reason I
