If you want January to feel lighter, faster, and clearer… the work starts now.

This week’s Shift is about the tiny final push that creates outsized momentum.

Most people start the year at full throttle… and end it on fumes.

High performers do the opposite. They treat December like the last 1%—the small stretch that separates the people who coast from the people who compound.

Here’s the truth:

The final 1% creates more momentum than the first 99%.

Not because it’s harder—but because almost no one shows up for it.

This week, don’t aim for a new mountain.

Aim for one micro-shift:

Tiny actions compound when everyone else is tapping out.

Your Shift


Pick one 1% move today—something small, quick, and finishable—and close the year with clarity instead of chaos.

Finish strong. 

Start lighter. 

Momentum loves the person who keeps flying when others land early.

Join the movement for weekly momentum insights.
