THE COZY
CEO RESET
I like to think of fall as my built-in annual review
— not the kind with endless spreadsheets, but
one that’s intentional, reflective, and strategic. It
starts with asking myself three key questions:
1.What’s still worth my energy before the year
ends?
2.What can I simplify so I’m not running on
fumes by December?
3.What boundaries will help me protect my
time and focus this season?

Why Fall is the Perfect
Reset Season
Autumn naturally mirrors what we need in
business: letting go of what no longer serves

year to see what’s working, yet there’s still
time to pivot before the calendar flips.
Where summer often brings a more scattered
pace, fall gives us the gift of structure. People
are back into routines, clients are more
responsive, and there’s a renewed sense of
focus in the air. Tapping into that momentum
now can mean the difference between ending
the year frazzled or fulfilled.
