INTERMISSION
2025
While time management often gets the spotlight, managing your energy can have an even greater impact on happiness and performance. Building on the principles in Tony Schwartz and Jim Loehr’s book “The Power of Full Engagement,” InterMission 2025 provides helpful insights on how to grow and renew your reserves—so that you have the strength and stamina to reach your goals. For a synopsis of the book’s key ideas, see the TEDx Talk below. This year, each InterMission workbook is accompanied by a video introduction—to give you an overview of the concepts and explain the exercises step-by-step. Enjoy the journey!
Yours, Team InterMission 2025

PART ONE:
SETTING THE STAGE
THE STARTING LINE
In order to move forward, we have to look back. Part One of InterMission invites you to pause, take stock, and learn from your experience. Life is one of our greatest teachers—but only if we take the time to understand its lessons. By reflecting on 2024, we can identify the behaviour patterns holding us back and make positive changes in the year ahead.
PART TWO:
GOAL SETTING
THE VISION
In Part Two, we’ll envision the future, decide what is most important to us, set specific goals, and work on renewing and improving our energy levels to help get us there. For this workbook, InterMission co-creator Sid Landolt gives step-by-step advice on how to get the most out of these exercises. Play the video while filling out the workbook for a guided experience.
PART THREE:
TURNING GOALS INTO ACTIONS
THE FOLLOW-THROUGH
As a final step of InterMission this year, please see Part Three: Turning Goals Into Actions. Here, you’ll find a process for operationalising your goals to help take action on the things that matter most to you. Think of this as a cheatsheet to refer back to during the year ahead—a place to highlight your goals and the steps you'll take to achieve them.
PART FOUR: HALFTIME
THE CHECK IN
Just like in sports, the halfway point of the year is a chance to pause, reflect, and refocus. This energy-themed workbook is here to help you reconnect with your goals, reflect on your progress, and reset your intentions. No need to wait until year-end—use this simple midyear check-in to realign with what matters most and make the rest of 2025 count.
