Unsexy Mid-Year Review
Summer or not, everyone seems busy. But I hope you have time to take stock of how the first half of 2024 has gone before heading into the second half.
Here's an exercise I'm inviting my clients to do. Carve out some quiet time, preferably when you feel energized and won't be interrupted. Turn off your phone. Grab a journal and dive in!
What are you most proud of?
What is the single most impactful activity you did or didn't do in your work?
What part of your work felt easiest?
What part of your work felt hardest?
What parts of your work make you feel most alive?
What activities did you spend the most time on and was it worth it?
What activities did you avoid because they felt hard?
What did you spend money on that felt worth it?
What did you spend money on that felt like a waste?
Who and what supported you?
After you answer those questions, shift gears to the second half of 2024. Here are some questions for you to ponder.
