The year is over halfway through – time flies when you’re having fun — so now is the time to take a beat to reflect on the year so far and look ahead to what comes next.
How are things going? As planned? Maybe not quite?
No matter your answer, the key question is: How can you finish the year strong with an outstanding Q3 and Q4?
Start by checking back in on the goals you set at the beginning of the year. Have you made significant progress toward them? If so, how can you continue this forward momentum? If things feel a little meh, is there a reason why? If you know the cause, then what needs to happen to get back on track? Understanding what you have and have not accomplished is a great way to chart your course for success in the second half of the year.
Reflecting on the lessons learned in the first half of the year is key to moving forward. Did you face challenges that blocked your goals? How did you overcome them, and how can you avoid them in the future? Answering these questions will better prepare you for any obstacles that come your way in the second half of the year.
As you reflect, you might find some of your goals need reevaluation. Priorities can change as the year progresses. Goals that were top-of-mind at the beginning of the year might be less important now, and new circumstances might lead to the discovery of new goals.
Solidify your goals for Q3 and Q4 by writing them down. Even if they are the same ones you started the year with, jot them down. Note your progress or what still needs to happen to achieve them. For new goals, capture some action steps to get you started.
Let’s crush the rest of 2024, my friends!
