Where has 2022 gone?! We’re over halfway through the year and are you on track to complete your goals? If not, don’t worry. It might not feel like it, but there’s still time to achieve your goals and take the steps you want to take in your career as a speaker.

In a perfect world, we would plan our year from January to December and everything would go according to plan. However, this isn’t the case, but it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. Who said we have to plan our year this way, anyway? When we’re at school or college, we work around the academic year and think of summer as the end of the previous year before we head into the next year. The great news is that you can do this post-college too!

If you’re interested in learning more about readjusting your goals and how it can help you succeed throughout the rest of 2022, keep reading.

So now we’ve established that we don’t need to plan our years from January to December. Now we can work on how to make that mental shift a reality.

We all know that feeling when you’ve just returned from your big summer vacation. Whether you’ve hopped on a plane to go somewhere hot or are enjoying a staycation, treating your local area like a tourist, vacations are an important opportunity to rest and recharge. You come back rested and inspired, ready to tackle any challenge that comes your way. This is one of the reasons that changing the way you plan your year, and factoring in the surge of energy we often get post-vacation, is so beneficial for productivity.

1. Review the goals you created at the beginning of the year — this is a step that many people forget to do once work and business take over

2. Update your progress on the goals that are currently in motion and make adjustments as needed. Take the time to review the goals that won’t be achieved this year and either remove them or move them into next year

3. Update time frames (not all goals need to be achieved by the end of December) and be realistic with the time it takes to complete them

4. Break your goals down into simple achievable steps over the next few months and get to work — for example, break down ‘writing a speech’ into the research, planning, writing, and editing tasks that it needs

You may have missed out on some opportunities in the first half of the year, but you can still make the second half count. Use your summer vacation as a perfect mid-year break, a time to inspire and recharge, then come back ready to give the second part of 2022 everything you have!
