Mid-Year Planner Review and Reset
It's almost the end of June and that means it's time for your mid-year review/reset. Regular reviews are important in planning, because it helps you keep track of what's still important and how you're getting on in approaching your goals.
There are a few steps to consider.
- Flip through your past pages looking for tasks that are not yet done. For each task, ask yourself three questions. Is it vital? Does it matter? Are there any negative consequences of not doing it? If the answer to any of these three questions is "yes". migrate the task forward into July. If all three answers are "no", then this task probably isn;t important enough to bother with any more, so bin it.
- Take a look at your goals. Are you making progress towards them? If not, why not? What needs to change so that you can? Do you have too many goals?

Journal Prompts
Anyone may post a prompt to inspire others on something to write. I'm aiming for there to be at least one prompt every day but feel free to add more.
Please add [Prompt] at the start of the title so people can find them more easily. Short questions can be in the title. Longer ones, or prompts with more than one question, can be in the body section.
Post your prompt as a new thread, not as a comment on someone else's prompt. It will be more visible that way.
There is no expectaton for anyone to post their response as a comment; many of these prompts will be deeply personal and you may not want to share what you write. They are springboards for writing in your own journal. So, if you post a prompt and it gets no comments; that's okay. Someone probably enjoyed it anyway.
But, if you really want to, and you're comfortable doing so, you can share your response, or an excerpt from it.
