Alright, let's start the show. Hey there. I'm Bree P, content creator, coach, and your host of the Thrive Podcast. And I'm here to help you build a brand you're proud of with clear strategy and real support.

[00:00:47] Let's dive in.

[00:00:51] I don't know about you, but I want to start the new Year Strong. And if I think about sitting at my desk on January 1st and having nothing but a blank. Screen a blank or messy notebook and white pages in front of me. I'm not going to feel like I'm starting off on the right foot, so I want to invite you to come along with me and let's get organized and remove all the junk so we can start the year excited instead of overwhelmed.

[00:01:18] By the end of this episode, you're going to have a great plan in place and a January content series, so you can go into the new year prepped, prepared, and ahead of the game. Ready? All right. First things first. You need to clean your space. I want you to go through old notes. I want you to find them all and either throw them away or organize them, or.

[00:01:48] If you're anything like me, I'm currently, like, I look down at my desk right now and there's some post-it notes, here's some pages, scrap paper that I wrote on like, oh my gosh, there's, there's always stuff everywhere because I have to write it down or I'll forget. And so when I have an idea or something, I'm like, let me just jot it down.

[00:02:07] The problem is if I do not organize it and put it somewhere, it just stays that idea out of my head, but just on that piece of paper and is forgotten. So I want you to put what you need into your new notebook or into Asana so that way they're there for you when you need them and you don't lose them. I want you to clean your desktop and empty your trash.

[00:02:32] This is physically and virtually, okay? So I want you to go on your computer, clean off your desktop, clean your downloads folder. Empty the trash, and then physically wherever you work, if you have a dedicated desk or if you just like grab notebooks and grab everything and like kind of move it throughout the house, I want you to clean that as well and take out the trash.

[00:02:57] Okay? The next thing I want you to do after you've cleaned your space, here's your reward, ready. Order yourself a new planner or notebook, or go to the store and buy one. When was the last time someone told you that you needed to do that? High school, college, elementary school. Normally it's myself telling me, don't buy anymore.

[00:03:18] You do not need a new notebook. The last thing you need is a new one. Use something you've already had that you've only used one page in. Did you ever have a pen pal growing up, or maybe you really wanted one? That person who'd send you letters with stickers and doodles and tell you about their life, there was something so special about it.

[00:03:39] Checking the mailbox, seeing that envelope with your name on it, and knowing someone took the time to write just for you. That's the feeling my friend and I wanted to bring back with the Cozy Post Club. For $9 a month, you're sent an envelope that feels like mail from a friend. It's got a handwritten note, a cozy recipe, a poem, a beautiful art print, and a little surprise.

[00:04:02] It's all the magic of having a pen pal without having to write back unless you want to. Just pure, simple, joy delivered right to your door, perfect for yourself, or send it to a long distance friend, so you. Both get that. Hey, I got a letter feeling every month. Sign up at the cozy post club.com. That's the cozy post club.com, because some of us never outgrew wanting mail that matters.

[00:04:30] Now let's plan a January content series. There are four full weeks in January, so let's plan a four week content series. Either four reels, four blog posts, or four YouTube videos. Your platform of choice. Okay? Now is your time to have fun with this. I want your first thing that you are creating in January to be something you are so excited about.

[00:04:57] What's a content series you've always wanted to do but have put on the back burner or talked yourself out of? Let me share some ideas to get you going. First, I want you to ask yourself. How well your audience knows you. Do they know what your voice sounds like? Do they know what you look like or do you tend to hide behind the screen?

[00:05:16] If so, I think it's probably time for a series all about you. Get out from behind the screen, let them see you and hear you, and help them get to know the person behind the brand now if they already know you, and that is not the case. Great. Now what is something that your audience. Always loves to do in January.

[00:05:38] If you're a food blogger, could you do a content series on four recipes that are easy to make and add extra veggies in that they won't even notice? Or how about four different mocktails, or how about throwing in something that you're like, nobody else has thought of this. I'm gonna do my unique spin on this.

[00:05:55] If you're a home creator, how are you transitioning from holidays and Christmas decor to cozy and inviting for winter months? I know that's something that. That always feels quite stark in my home is when we put away all of the Christmas decor and all of a sudden my home feels empty. And it's kind of nice for a minute because everything feels clean.

[00:06:17] But I still live in Minnesota and we're like going into the thick of winter for the next few months after Christmas. And so I need things to still feel really cozy. So there's an idea for you. If you're a fashion girly, what about cozy ways to stay warm in winter? If you're starting to get tired of your clothes, maybe you already purchased winter clothes and you need new ways to style them.

[00:06:43] If you're a mom influencer, how are you organizing all the toys that your kids got for Christmas? Please tell us, or how are you keeping them entertained when it's cold outside? I need some mamas to create this content, please. The whole point of this is to get the plan written out so that when you go to film or write, you know, already know exactly what you're doing.

[00:07:06] And ideally, you can knock this entire series out in one go. So it doesn't have to be this overly complicated project thing. If you're a food blogger, I understand those recipes can take quite a bit more time, but maybe you can think of something that is going to be a little bit simpler and something you could film all in one go.

[00:07:28] But how exciting is it going to be to just having a fun content series already planned out on the calendar, maybe even started and ready to go as soon as January one hits.
