Dear Reader,

I’ll be honest: I love a good year-end cleanup.

The piles of sticky notes, the half-used notebooks, the “why do I still have this?” files on my desktop.

But this year, my biggest cleanup didn’t happen in my office.

It happened in my head.

I realized I was still carrying around an outdated belief from my media executive days:

“If I don’t push at 110%, I’ll fall behind.”

At one time, I thought this belief helped me get through high-pressure launches, countless research studies, and endless late nights.

Now I realize it doesn't serve me anymore. It was leaving me overcommitted, measuring success by exhaustion, and missing the space where my best work and ideas show up.

So, I “cleaned it up.”

I replaced it with: “When I create space, my best work and best ideas show up.”

And once I let go of that mental clutter, everything changed. My calendar felt lighter. My coaching felt sharper. My creativity came back.

Now, I’ll turn it to you.

As we head into the last 90 days of 2025, it’s not just your inbox or your desk that might need clearing.

It’s the outdated thought processes, messy ways of working, and old habits that may be quietly weighing you down.

For my clients, that often looks like:

➡️ Saying yes out of fear instead of alignment.

➡️ Equating “busy” with “important.”

➡️ Believing that conflict means failure.

➡️ Avoiding delegation because it feels easier to “just do it myself.”

So here’s my invitation: 👉 What’s the clutter you want to clear before the year ends. Could be in your thinking, in your processes, or even in your leadership style.

Sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn’t adding something new. It’s letting go of what’s no longer working.

With ease, Tracy

Try This: A 5-Minute Clutter Check

Grab a notebook and answer these two questions:

1. What thought, process, or habit is costing me more energy than it gives me right now?
2. If I let go of it (or replaced it), what would open up for me in the last 90 days of 2025?

No overthinking. Just write down whatever comes up first. That’s usually the clutter worth clearing.
