Before we decide where we’re going, we need to understand what actually worked.

In the kitchen, effort alone doesn’t create progress. Systems do. You can stay busy, organized, and in motion, but without reflection, you’re just maintaining, not growing. Mise en place keeps things running. Systems decide how far you go.

This Compass is a tool to look at 2025 honestly and reflect how you spent your time, what supported you, what drained you and where your energy went. It is also about setting intention for 2026 and identifying the things you want to carry forward.

The 86 Challenge began on August 6, 2025, and restarts on August 6, 2026. With this Compass, you can find a tool that helps you arrive clearer, stronger, and with clearer intention on how to continue navigating your life beyond the 86 days of the challenge.
