In December 2025, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Rewind Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we’ll rewind, review, reflect or—in my case—re-blog one of my nearly 4,000 posts that highlight experiences shaping us into better versions of ourselves. If you don’t have a blog, your reflections can come from a journal or even a meaningful memory tied to something learned, a goal reached, or a personal effort to improve. These daily habits of looking back will serve as a powerful springboard for taking on a new and ambitious challenge in 2026. Today my rewind is on BUSYNESS.
On April 9, 2014, I composed a post about the concept of Busyness. That post included a reference to the Chinese image for that trait.
The Chinese language is complicated but being busy is represented by single pictograph of two characters: heart and killing. Think about that picture. Do you want to kill your heart by being busy all the time?
Rewind-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing a rewind, review, or reflection during the month of December.
- Rewind, review, or reflect on a past effort to improve, a lesson you learned, or a goal you accomplished.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
December 8th-Busyness
Every behavioral change starts with stopping an old habit. That shift takes time for reflection, and reflection grows best in solitude. Busyness isn’t the aim of life—living in alignment with your “why” is.
