The Consistent $5k ClubWord of the yearI've never been super big on resolutions. It's so hard to know who you're going to be in a year and for so many, we over commit and don't plan things out accordingly to actually accomplish our goals. A few years ago, though, I stumbled upon this idea of word of the year. How you go about finding/choosing your word of the year is different for everyone, but it essentially takes the place of a resolution. Rather, it's the this idea that you have a word or phrase that helps move you through the year. 2024-01-0223 min
