Happy New Year everyone! So excited to bring you my January reset ✨ I feel like there is so much pressure online for "monthly resets" to be a very productive/full house clean/GYST thing and while it can be that, I like to view it as a form of self care. I love to sit in my PJS on the couch on the last day of the month and spend some time reflecting & prepping for the month ahead. It has evolved into a cozy way to spend time with myself and do my favorite things like talking about books, finance & journalling. It's been SO beneficial for my mental health and also at the end of the day it's just fun to me. To brainstorm what products I loved this month, reflect, talk with Matt about how our relationship was that month etc. So with that being said, I hope you find a way to make welcoming a new month fun (not always productive) this year. xo Carter

As a pastry chef...a bread maker allows you to have ONE container that does all 12 steps of making bread. It's ABSOLUTELY making bread. Enjoy your bread maker!!!

Happy New Year Carter! Thank you so much for your monthly resets, was really looking forward to this, after your Vlogmas week. I've loved every video you've put out this week and it has truly helped me brainstorm and plan out how I want my new year to go. I always give myself a little bit of grace to get my goals together since my birthday is in late January (the 27th) and it allows me the time to think about how I want to set myself up for my next year of life and the new year, instead of starting off the year in a rush. You truly create that comfort and support that it's okay to move at your own pace. You have really helped me with learning to make smaller attainable lists each month to help me get through the last year and I can't wait to see what you accomplish this year. Manifesting the 100k subscribers soon for you. 🥰

Happy New Year Carter! Thank you, I'm grateful for your videos. I'm from Colombia and listening to you helps me to practice my English.

Happy New Year Carter! Have been loving all of your new years content so much, also love the cozy vibes of this video ❤🎉

Wishing you a Happy new year! May this year be blessed for you. I wanted to say that I am so inspired by your work. I’ve just discovered your channel few days ago and just waouh, how consistant you are, how qualitative your videos are is just incredible! You deserve to influence the world because you bring beautiful vibes into each of your videos! Sending a lot of gratitude! ✨🙏🏻

I've been watching your monthly resets for a while but this is the first time that I'm going to be doing one myself which I'm stoked about. really enjoyed the reminder that you don't have to start attacking everything on January 1 - I'm trying hard to break out of my perfectionism mindset and remind myself that it's all about progress not perfection. I also love the monthly resets because you make them cozy and casual and include your favourites, which I miss and brings me back to old school KZfaq. happy new year Carter! looking forward to another year of your content! 💌 xoxo

Happy New Year! 1) love the cup. 2) makeup and hair on point. 3) I am so with you on the “perfect morning routine.” I worked with my therapist to come up with 5 little things that make me feel good in the morning that I should aim to do on work days but, even then, I can’t bring myself to do them on the weekends. I’ve come to terms with the fact that a “perfect routine” is a myth. We can all do great even without it.

Love your mug! We also have ASL on our goal list. And, your quote is the same as the one i picked for my January Notion page!

Happy New Year! Can’t wait to do my January reset - sending good vibes for a fresh new year!

Hey Carter, Happy new year! I’ve been watching your videos from some time now and you’ve been so monumental in my personal finance/budgeting money journey, especially as a fellow Ontarian. So much of the content I searched for early on was mostly American based so I just wanted to thank you for being around! ✨ You have made money fun for me when it always stressed me out down here in the GTAH

Happy new year Carter, wish you all the best for this year,to have a lot more good days than bad ones🥂✨thank you for inspiration. Your videos are really helping me to be a better person for myself.

Thank you as always for being so candid about mental health, as you are helping many people by sharing your story. Have you ever tried a sun lamp in the winter time?

Happy New Year Carter! I’m more of a silent follower from the states (Maryland), but you keep me motivated and inspire me to stay organized every month. Thank you and here’s to 2024. -Kamryn P.s. the camera quality is so good!! Looks awesome.

First, Happy New Year!! Also, OMG!! I think you will LOVEEEE the Thursday Murder Club series! It's just such a cozy murder mystery series.

curious to see what you think of the murder club book - i started it and couldn't get into it! I have Powerless on my TBR for January too as well as the unmentioned book - I had no idea there was any drama with the publishing house!

Wintering by Katherine May is the EXACT book you're looking for! It's a memoir with some self-help rolled in and it is exactly about accepting and even enjoying winter/hard or slow times of your life. I read it last winter and loved it!

Absolutely LOVED the Thursday Murder Club series. On the lookout for more from the author.

Radical acceptance has helped me with sad so much! Instead of being upset about snow I go out with our dogs and play in it. I also embrace just doing cozy things inside while it’s cold out or going swimming at the gym because it feels like a summer activity. Definitely come March though I’m like okay I am really ready for spring lol but it’s helped me so much compared to past winters where I just hated everything. I’m even looking forward to snow this year

Wintering is a book I recommend for fully leaning into the feels of winter.

I love the Thursday Murder Club, but i have to warn you from across the pond that it has many, many UK specific references. They are hilarious and wonderful, but quite specific so dont be afraid to google. For example Waitrose is a fancy supermarket and Taste the Difference is an expensive ownbrand supermarket line of food x

Hello! I am trying to pick out a spreadsheet for my budget this year - yes I am getting a late start. However, I wanted your videos from last year and you have changed your spreadsheet. Can you share what you like about your new vs. old. Why the change - did the old not meet your needs anymore? I was liking the one you used last year but am now second guessing myself.

I saw today that you hit 95k on KZfaq!! Congrats Carter🎉

Love the F1 book recommendation :)

Do you track your books & ratings on an app like good reads, etc? Trying to get back into reading and love your suggestions!

Loved tress!!!

I didn't know that shop was coming out with a new one! I'd like to see the new 2024 sheet since I follow the same sheet as you. Thanks for mentioning it btw! I get tripped up on tracking when use money from sinking fund or EF in the sheet. Do you just do a negative log entry for those or do you do like accounting style and do a debit and credit line item to balance out? Thanks and Happy New Year!

i really think you should take an ASL class taught by a deaf person if you are hoping to learn sign language to be able to communicate with deaf people. There is a lot of misinformation out there from hearing people and there are things you can only learn from the deaf community

Do you sell this budget spreadsheet or know where I can get it? I love it!

Do you rebuy the spreadsheet every year? 2023 was my first year with it so just wondering

me buying the new budget spreadsheet sheet and using it. then feeling like i need to switch back because carter switched back 😂

Link for the sweater?

❤❤❤

Hey. I hope you are ok. Where are your earrings from? They are beautiful 😊

Can’t believe we’re in the second month of the year already…😭

💖💖💖

Not to be TMI lol but I have heard you mention you have IBS a few times. You should definitely get further testing done- I thought I had IBS for a decade but turns out I have celiac's disease. It's been 4 months of no gluten for me (I also only eat plant based food but that's been for some time and that helped alot too) and I am literally a changed person (I've had this my whole life so I never realized how bad it was making me feel). It affected almost every area of my health (anxiety, fatigue, gastro, brain fog, random stuff like tongue ulcers and skin rashes) and the only remaining issues I still have is some gastro but my dr said that's normal because of how long I went undiagnosed.

What's the name of the fantasy book? It's a shame that the author has to be punished for something one asshat employee did.

Can u change the mic sound It’s not really good. Love your videos ❤

Why are you holding a cup?

Ah yes a young grasshopper that is not from North Dakota that doesn't have to deal with seven months of -10+ degree weather. It's okay to be in denial. Winter fucking sucks and I am going to complain about it all the time idgaf. Being mOrE aCcEpTiNg will NEVER change my hatred for winter. You do have time to read... you aren't just managing your time well enough
