Today, I\u00b4m adding one more suggestion, something I heard last year but haven\u00b4t put into practice until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's <strong>choosing a word as the theme for the year, something we want to focus on<\/strong>. This way, we create a common thread for our goals, using the word as a reminder and a source of motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u00b4ve already chosen mine for 2025; would you like to hear it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drum roll...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, 2025 is the year of...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DECLUTTERING*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(*Explanatory note for the English version: there\u00b4s no direct Spanish translation for <em>decluttering<\/em>, which is a word I love in English and that I was sure I had included it in the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/en\/category\/intraducibles\/page\/2\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/es_es\/category\/intraducibles\/page\/2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">untranslatables<\/a>; apparently not, so I have a future article pending on that topic.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this is it! The theme for this year at our house, and not only for me; I\u00b4ve also recruited the girls. During 2024, for various reasons, we accumulated loads of things at home and didn\u00b4t get a chance to do any proper decluttering. Now is the time to free up space, and let the old go so that the new can come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What about you? What word do you choose? <\/strong>It can be anything that resonates with you and that you want to take as a priority this year. Let me know in a comment, and I\u00b4ll be delighted to read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1Empezamos el 2025! \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal lo llevas de momento?
