🛣️Clear the View so You Can See the Road Ahead🛣️

I can live with a little dust on my dashboard in my car. I can ignore the stack of receipts in the console, but if the windshield is streaked or smudged? I notice it every single time I drive.

There’s a curve in our neighborhood, and as the season shifts, when you mix the location of the sun with frost, snow, and fog, the streaks and smudges get worse. As you come around it from our side of the neighborhood, it involves a lot of squinting and moving my head around. It’s a daily reminder that I need to be able to see to drive.

December feels like that to me. It’s a busy month…holidays, family, gifts, gatherings, expectations. It’s also a month that leads us into a brand-new year. If I want to step into January with any sense of intention, looking for ways to “wipe the glass” in December helps me see and move into the new year well.

"Wiping the glass" can involve  letting go of some stories, clutter I haven’t dealt with, dreams I didn’t commit to, and distractions I keep carrying. December isn’t the time for high-energy projects for me, but it is the perfect time for a December digital clean up.

Here’s what a digital clean-up could look like:

• Cleaning out my emails…not inbox zero, but cleaning out what no longer serves. Do I really need the insurance payment receipt for a car I no longer own? Or the class I bought six years ago and still haven’t worked on?
• Blocking senders and unsubscribing with reckless abandon. Black Friday alone can double my inbox.
• Letting go of old text messages.
• Removing random apps from my phone…maybe even creating a home screen with nothing but a quote that inspires me.
• Cleaning out random memos and notes on my phone.
• Deleting duplicate photos, screenshots, and not-quite-good enough videos.
• Unsubscribing from podcasts that no longer interest me.

These aren’t big changes, but they clear your line of sight on your digital stuff. They make it easier to see what’s in front of me instead of staring at layers of clutter.

I don’t need the whole year mapped out, but I do need a windshield that lets me see the next stretch of the road. 

So, as I move through December, I’m choosing to "clean the windshield" so I can see the way.   

What about you? What do you want to clear?

I’ll be cheering you on, while still wondering how my photo count for 2025 got that high.
