The Year End Sprint (YES) ritual is a ritual I accidentally discovered while I was preparing for yet another attempt at New Year’s resolutions. Suddenly, an idea struck me: What if I did the opposite this time? and this new idea transformed my life in the best way possible. Here’s how it can change yours too.
The concept is simple yet incredibly effective: Instead of waiting for January 1st to START changing your life, use December 31st as your DEADLINE for making that change, and begin the new year already crushing it.
In my opinion, one of the reasons why New Year’s resolutions are ineffective is that they only have a starting line, not a deadline. I can’t overstate the importance of setting deadlines — the power of deadlines is real. We’ve all experienced how we get things done when there’s a due date looming.
The goal of the Year End Sprint is to start the new year already feeling like the best version of yourself. This also creates the psychological momentum you need to achieve even more.
My 2024 YES ritual helped me get my act together after a long period of downward spiral. That’s why I extended the ritual to use it throughout the year. Even if you’re planning to use it for the entier year, always make the YES your most epic quarter.
