Before the thaw really hits, take an hour to:

• Check for ice damage on roofs, decks, and walkways

• Clear snow away from foundations to prevent leaks

• Test sump pumps and check basement moisture

Small checks now can save big repair bills later.

Even if the ground is frozen:

• Sketch out garden beds and crop rotation

• Order seeds early (best varieties sell out fast)

• Start indoor seedlings for longer-season plants

Planning now means less stress and better yields later.

This is a great time to:

• Review last year’s expenses and profit margins

• Adjust pricing if costs increased

• Set realistic revenue goals for spring/summer

A good understanding helps make informed decisions.

Instead of tackling everything:

• Pick one space: entryway, office desk, or kitchen drawer

• Donate, recycle, or toss what you didn’t use this winter

• Reset systems so spring routines feel lighter

Momentum builds fast when you start small.

Spring often brings:

• Property tax installments

• Gardening or home maintenance costs

• Travel or event spending

Create a short list of upcoming expenses and set aside a little now to avoid surprises.

Before spring traffic picks up:

• Update hours, contact info, and services on your website

• Refresh photos or featured offers- get fresh content

• Plan 30 days of posts or newsletter templates in advance

Showing up consistently wins the race.

It doesn’t have to be productive:

• A spring getaway

• A creative project

• A weekly walk or hobby

Seasonal transitions are a great time to realign with your intentions.
