Hi All,I can't believe it. The halfway point in 2015 is just about here. Tonight is the halfway point - which means that we still have half a whole year left.
Mid-points are a good time to summarize where we've been - and where we're going to go in the next six months of the year...forthwith, a whole bunch of useful sites that will help you chart the future six months of 2015 on a whole host of personal topics!
The website Generation X Finance (which bills itself as 'Helping a Unique Generation Achieve Financial Independence) has an article title, 'How to Do a Mid-Year Financial Checkup - Things to Think About This Summer' Important parts of the article include reviewing goals, progress and your taxes and, believe it or not, saving for Christmas 2015...
Lifehack.org has an article titled, 'How to Do a Personal Mid-Year Review?' Three parts of this article were notable: Making a list of everything that you feel proud of over the past six months, making a list of any new goals or challenges (and noting any progress) that you taken on over the last six months and identifying areas of your life that you'd like to focus on over the next six months seems particularly poignant, relevant and helpful.
Career Realism (whose tagline is 'Because Every Job is Temporary') has an article titled, '10 Questions to Ask Yourself Today'. This short article is divided into 2 sections, 'Look-Back Questions' and 'Look-Forward Questions'. Some salient points from each include thinking about key accomplishments, mistakes made, time management, top 3 personal goals, learning and knowledge and relationship development. How did you do on the last point?
Finally, from the Huffington Post comes this article, titled, 'Time For a Personal Mid-Year
Review: This is How! (What We Can Learn From Business)' This article gives the writer in all of us something to do. For example, the article suggests that we:
1. Write down the goals that you had set yourself at the beginning of the year.
2. Write down how you have 'performed' in these categories.
3. For each category, write down one or two of the biggest challenges you have had...
5. Write down in a maximum of two sentences how you wish to achieve open goals on your list.
As you can see there is a lot of writing and thinking...but it will help you get more proactive and engaged in your mid-year life review.
While we are at the half-way point in the year...there are 180 days left to achieve those goals that you've set down! You can do it! (Click here for a list of motivational quotes from BrainyQuote.com.
