The 80% rule

 
Here we are... 28 days into the new year, and what we would describe as the New Year Energy is finally becoming acquainted with the late January reality. 

I used to think that if I wasn't hitting my goals at 100%, I was failing. However, this year, I'm leaning into the 80% rule. If the house is 80% clean, the laundry is 80% put away, and I'm 80% consistent with my new habits - I consider that a MASSIVE win. 

Today is my Wednesday Vibe Check. We look at our intentions and realize that while we haven't mastered everything we set out to do, the intent remains. We are trading perfection for persistence. 

Today's small win is simply that I arrived at a great idea for place name tags for our Bilbo and Frodo Baggins Birthday Bash later in the year. It may seem trivial to some, but knowing what I want to do and figuring out the supplies I will need to purchase to do it is huge for me. 

How is your January holding up? Are you at 100% or are you happily joining me in the 80% persistence club?
