A Mid-Year Check-In for Your Goals
- The middle of the year is a natural moment to pause and review your goals.
- Start by celebrating what you have already done, big and small.
- Decide which goals to keep, adjust or release without guilt.
- Choose one or two focus goals for the next six months.
- Break them into monthly steps and schedule your next check-in.
A mid-year check-in is a calm pause to celebrate progress, adjust goals and choose what the next six months should focus on. It is often more useful than New Year resolutions, because you now know how the year is really going.
Start with what went well
Before looking at unfinished goals, list what you have done since January — projects, habits, brave conversations, rest you finally took. Seeing it written down changes how the review feels.
Look honestly at each goal
Next to each goal, write keep, adjust or release. Keep what still excites you. Adjust what matters but needs a new timeline or smaller steps. Release what no longer fits — without guilt. If your goals were set using Dreams in Progress: Goals You Can Keep, this is where you give them fresh life.
Choose your focus
Pick one or two goals for the second half of the year. Write why each matters to you. A clear “why” keeps you going when motivation dips.
Break it down
For each focus goal, list one milestone per month until December. Then add the first small step to next week’s page. The quarterly approach in Plan Your Quarter Without Overwhelm can help you pace it.
Schedule the next check-in
Write a date in three months for a short review, and pencil in your year-end review. Checking in regularly keeps goals alive long after the first burst of energy.
Questions for your check-in page
- What am I most proud of so far this year?
- What drained my energy, and can I change it?
- Which goal would make the biggest difference if I finished it by December?
- What do I want the second half of the year to feel like?
Write your answers freely. They become the foundation for everything you plan next.
