Be honest with yourself for a second. Is your momentum still there…Or has life already started pulling you in different directions? This is usually the week where the noise comes back. Work speeds up. Schedules fill. Responsibilities take over. And most people assume that means they’re “losing motivation.” You’re not. You’re just being tested. January doesn’t ask if you’re inspired. It asks if you’re intentional. So here’s your real check-in: Did you move forward this week, even a little? Did you keep at least one promise you made to yourself? Did you act like the version of you you said you were becoming? If yes—good. That’s momentum. If no—also good. Awareness is where change starts. You don’t need to restart. You don’t need to judge the week. You just need to decide how you’re setting the next one. Small course corrections. Clear priorities. One aligned action. That’s how momentum survives real life beyond the New Years Resolution. Drop one word in the comments that describes how this week actually felt.

I’m curious: do you use polite language like “please” and “thank you” when communicating with AI tools? Playful

Hello Everyone! My name is Marc Nolan and am a retired CEO of a software consulting firm and the CEO of the best part-time job I've held 51 years (and counting)- training NFL, College and HS football kickers and Punters (and yes many of the kicking specialists' you see on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sunday- but no name dropping). With SKOOL, I serve the High School Parents of the athletes trying to understand the CHAOS of what the NCAA is doing and I bring CLARITY to them. Cool fun fact. I also firewalked with Tony Robbins way back in NYC in 1986 which was one of those great moments you never forget!
