Like many others, I recently returned from vacation and I’m gearing up for back-to-school with my daughter (I think it should be called “back-to-business” for everyone). Feeling refreshed and focused always leads me to start planning for the rest of the year.

What goals did you set at the beginning of the year? Which have yet to be accomplished? What do you need to do to reach those goals? Are the unattained goals still worth the time & effort to complete? What other issues or opportunities have come to your attention during the year? Do these take precedence over your remaining goals or can you accomplish all items in the remaining time?

Make your list and re-prioritize. Then list the steps you need to take to complete each goal. How long do you think each item will take? Maybe you can knock out a few small projects when you are waiting for feedback on another.

Stay on track and complete your goals before the holidays are upon us (because they will be here before we know it)!

Good luck!
