This week, take a hard look at your working life. Does it suit you, or have you become good at tolerating it? Pick one practical change: reshape your routine, investigate your own venture or review what you charge. If you want more authority, identify the responsibility you'll need to take on. If you want better pay, make a clear case for your value. Endless effort doesn't always mean progress. Working yourself into the ground won't fix a setup that keeps selling you short.

Ready to face what you've been dodging? If you keep postponing something, get realistic about how to improve it – or decide to drop it. November is also about taking better care of yourself and making room for a hobby, romance or creative project you keep sidelining. You've got plenty to say, but try to speak up more where you've been expecting others to read your mind. At home, fix what frustrates you. You have more control over a domestic situation than you might think.
