Last week, we talked about FOCUS.

Choosing one goal to rule them all.
A goal so impactful that achieving it would make everything else easier or unnecessary.

This week, we’re building on that idea with a reminder:

You can’t predict every twist and turn.
Life happens.
Plans change.
Winds shift.

And that’s okay.

Adjusting your course is part of the journey.

Why Goal Review and Adjustment Matters

Goals are rarely achieved in a straight line.

Life throws curveballs—unexpected challenges, new opportunities, or shifting priorities. If you don’t make room to adjust, you risk getting stuck, discouraged, or completely off track.

Think about it: How often have you set a goal, stuck rigidly to the plan, and ended up feeling frustrated when progress didn’t go as expected?

When you refuse to adapt:

• Progress feels harder than it should be. You’re working harder, not smarter.

• You lose motivation. A rigid goal starts to feel like a burden, not a source of inspiration.

• You risk burnout. Without flexibility, you end up chasing something that no longer aligns with your current priorities or reality.

Adjustments are how you turn setbacks into stepping stones.

Every small tweak—whether it’s breaking a goal into smaller milestones, changing your timeline, or reassessing your priorities—brings you closer to success.

Adjusting doesn’t mean giving up. It means refining your approach to make progress achievable and sustainable.

Step-by-Step Goal Review Framework

A proper goal review isn’t about judging yourself. It’s about learning and optimizing. Here’s how:

1. Celebrate Wins 🎉

   • What did you achieve? Big or small, every milestone counts.

2. Identify Misses ⚠️

   • What didn’t go as planned? Reflect without judgment.

3. Assess Relevance 🔍

   • Do your goals still align with your values and vision?

4. Adjust and Realign 🔄

   • Break big goals into smaller steps or pivot if needed.

5. Set Fresh Intentions 🚀

   • What will you carry forward into 2025? What will you leave behind?

Making It Practical: How to Stay on Track

To make this process scalable and actionable, establish a rhythm for regular reviews. Depending on your goal, here are some practical ways to stay aligned:

1. Choose Your Review Frequency:

• Daily: For habits or short-term objectives. Spend 5 minutes at the end of each day reflecting on progress and planning tomorrow.

• Weekly: For ongoing projects. Dedicate 15-30 minutes every Sunday to assess what worked, what didn’t, and what needs adjustment.

• Monthly: For long-term goals. Use the first day of each month to realign and ensure you’re still on track.

2. Use Accountability Tools:

• Find an Accountability Partner: Check in with someone you trust once a week or month to review progress and discuss challenges.

• Set Up Reminders: Use productivity apps or even go as simple as iCal or Google Calendar to schedule regular review sessions.

• Track Progress: Use a simple journal or a goal tracker template to document wins, misses, and adjustments.

3. Make Room for Flexibility:

• Plan for obstacles and delays. Build buffer time into your timelines to accommodate unexpected changes.

• Practice self-compassion. Adjusting your goal doesn’t mean failure; it means you’re adapting intelligently.

4. Align Actions with Your Vision:

• At each review, ask yourself: “Is this action bringing me closer to my goal?” If not, it might be time to pivot.

Your Turn

Take 15 minutes this week to review your 2024 goals. Ask yourself:

• What am I proud of?

• What do I want to adjust?

• What excites me for 2025?

Remember: Adjusting your sails doesn’t mean abandoning the journey.

Closing Thought

The end of the year is not just a conclusion. It’s a chance to restart with clarity and purpose.
Make room for the wind, the challenges, and the changes.
Make 2025 a year of intentional action and meaningful progress.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
