Progress, Not Perfection January often brings a mix of optimism and pressure, the feeling that something new should begin and that it should begin perfectly.

New beginnings bring energy and optimism, but they can also bring pressure. Pressure to decide quickly. To get things right immediately. To set expectations that may be difficult to sustain once life inevitably intervenes.
