Mid-Year Review

Ok, several things have gotten me thinking about the mid-year review. First of all, it’s July, the middle of the calendar year, so literally the time for a mid-year review. Secondly, I just finished John Wood’s Leaving Microsoft To Change The World which would cause even the most single-minded person to question their life direction. Finally, we’re in the lazy days of summer, where it feels right to take a breather and reflect. So in the spirit of reflection, here are some juicy questions for your own mid-year review:

For any of your 2009 goals, how are you doing? If you have a revenue target, a weight loss target, a savings target, etc. are you halfway there? 

What are your biggest wins so far this year? How can you do more of the same?

What is still missing that you hoped to have started/ accomplished by now? Does it still matter?

For the things that still matter but are yet out of reach, what is keeping you from starting/ accomplishing what you want?

In the rush of everyday life, it is so easy to stay busy and never stop to confirm that we are busy with the things that matter. Even when we start on the right track, sometimes our priorities change, and we will only recognize that if we stop and reflect. A mid-year review is a chance to stop. Stop. Take out pen and paper. Write down your thoughts. Are you who, where and what you want to be?
