How to Reset Your Goals for the Second Half of the Year. Tip #2: Use the Deadline as Motivation
At the beginning of the year, you had a blank slate of 12 full months ahead of you. Now, you’re on a downhill run toward the end of the year, which is kind of awesome because you’ve got a countdown, aka a deadline. With a more limited time frame, now you need to be more specific about what you want to accomplish–and realistic about what you need to let go for now.
Think about the endpoint you want to reach by the last month of the year. What feels possible and exciting versus overwhelming? The answer can give you valuable insight into the goals you can accomplish with the time you have left. Then, use the approaching deadline to fuel your motivation by tracking the time you have left, and what needs to happen at each stage.
