Reading 141: work
The winds blow often this year, with reorganizations or changes in your duties. Adjusting each time is tiring, but documenting your own work standards keeps you from snapping. Protecting what you already handle pays better than expanding.
Money
Some months income and expenses may not match your plan. Fill an emergency fund of about three months of living costs first and you can ride out the wind. Take new spending commitments slowly this year.
People and relationships
What people say may shift often and confuse you. Trust only what you hear directly, and confirm important promises in writing. Those who stay by you through the shaky times are truly on your side.
A small habit for this year
Put one line about this year's goal on your phone lock screen. Hold on to it like a flagpole whenever you waver.
