Make that doctor appointment, delete those ancient screenshots, clean out the fridge (shudders). Pare down wherever possible so you can make room for the things that really matter.

Sometimes you get too comfortable in your shell. And that’s usually fine—but not this month! It’s time to connect and socialize. Who knows what kinds of helpful connections await you.
