Avoiding the Hate Finish and New Year Resolutions Check-In

Janet and Isaiah talk about being better people and learning to reject the dreaded “Hate Finish” that’s held them captive before. They also talk about some recent games they’ve been playing and how Janet is learning to love incremental games (GAMES). Then the gang goes over their Lock-Ins and Leave-Its from the beginning of the year and grade themselves on how they’re doing, what adjustments they need to make, and make some realistic pivots to make sure they end the year strong with their resolutions (NOT GAMES).
