Whew - looking back is tougher this year than usual, isn't it? Even something as simple as looking back at the year's top blog posts brings back all the feelings, as I look at our topics for January and February... and then watch the pandemic take hold in March. But! There's good here, too. I'm grateful we were able to help each other through a tough year, sharing resources and alltheways to pivot and still make progress on what matters.
In that spirit, here are your favorite blog posts from a very strange year!
1. 10 Intentional Ways to Use Your Mornings | As a chronic snoozer, I appreciated the simple tips in this post, and it looks like many of you did, too!
2. Team Cultivate's 2020 Word of the Year | Considering our WOTY was TOGETHER, this post is a little bittersweet in hindsight, since we spent much of the year apart. However, we truly came together to support each other through all 2020 had to throw at us like never before, so ultimately it has been very fitting!
3. How to Use the PowerSheets Monthly Calendar Spreads and A Bank of Encouraging Words for Your PowerSheets | So many creative ideas in here, especially if you use a daily or weekly planner alongside your PowerSheets! I love learning from the Cultivate community.
