Let's do a 6 month review of your work and what you want the next 6 months to be all about

I created a worksheet for us all so that, as we stand in this halfway point of the year, we can use it to take a step back and reflect on the first half of 2024 and plan for the second half

Hi there, I’m Selina, a Career and Life Design Coach, author and podcaster. I’ve been helping people design lives and careers they love for almost two decades.

Let's do a 6 month review of your work and what you want the next 6 months to be all about

At the start of the year, as well as filling out my Goodbye 2023, Hello 2024 journal, I also created a worksheet to help me reflect, dream and plan, specifically around my work and business.

I’d never done this before and I found it to be such a powerful exercise. It really helped me highlight the areas where I was feeling drained and fed up and needed to bring about a change and the areas where I wanted to commit and make things happen. 

In fact it was doing this reflect, dream & plan exercise for my business that finally had me committing to launching my podcast Another Way. Something I’ve been writing into the pages of my Goodbye Hello journal over and over for the past two years, but never got round to doing it.

By doing this reflect, dream & plan exercise focused entirely on work, I finally committed to my podcast dream and made it happen and I’m so glad I did. 

The planning section of the review also really helped me to be far more realistic with the time and energy I have available. I will forever have far more ideas than I have time in which to actually do them. But year after year I seem to attempt to do them anyway, leaving me feeling either burnt out from over-stretching myself or frustrated at myself for not making it happen.

But by doing the planning section of the review and using the planner that let’s you map out the next 6-12 months all on one page, I was finally able to see what is realistic and where I’m trying to squeeze too much into one year and perhaps for the first time ever, I have felt like I’ve had plenty of time to do all of my projects, rather than cramming them in and feeling over-stretched.

All of this is to say, I’ve found doing this work review really helpful this year and so, now that we are at that halfway point of the year, I thought I would do another review to reflect on how things are going and plan what I want to focus on over the next 6 months.

And so, I created this worksheet to help me do a 6 month work review and yet again, I found it to be such a powerful exercise. So, I wanted to share it with you so that you can have a go at it too 🤗

Club You members, we’ll be going through this in this week’s Pep-Talk and I’ll be sharing with you what insights and plans came out of doing my own 6 month review.

And if you’re not in Club You, don’t worry…it’ll be coming to Substack soon!

It’s all part of my new plan for the second half of 2024 🤩
