January 2026 Monthly Edit
What I've been reading, what I'm eyeing, and what I'm looking forward to this month
Happy New Year!
Yesterday I spent the day rotting on the couch, watching football, tinkering with my editorial calendar for Q1, and reflecting on my aspirations for the year ahead. January can often feel hectic; however, after a busy Q4, I am making a conscious effort to keep things lowkey.
If you are new to Field Notes, this month I will be sharing some reflections from 2025 in my Friday Fives, along with a deeper look back at my travel and articles from the year. Thank you so much for being here as we step into 2026 together.
Wishing you a year full of joy, growth, and all the goals you hope to achieve. Here’s to a kind and beautiful 2026!
xx,
Meghan
