How to Conduct a Mid-Year Review

Today on ProductivityCast we’re going to be talking about stepping away from getting things done so you can review and reflect, and then get back to getting things done better. It’s halfway through the year and so it’s a good time to discuss the mid-year review. A mid-year review is a practice like any other reflection activity, where we take the time to look over our progress, reevaluate our goals, and recalibrate our personal productivity systems. It’s a moment to pause, step back, and gain clarity on where we stand in relation to our aspirations and how we can make the most of the second half of the year.



Correction: Ray said “weekly review” at the start of the episode when he actually meant “mid-year review.”

ProductivityCast
Each week, four productivity and technology experts from different work backgrounds discuss, debate and describe personal productivity topics. Hosts Ray Sidney-Smith (https://rsidneysmith.com) and Augusto Pinaud (https://productivityvoice.com) along with our regular contributors Francis Wade (https://fwconsulting.com) and Art Gelwicks (https://gelwickstech.com) make up the ProductivityCast team.

ProductivityCast is an opportunity to discuss personal productivity in context, occasionally interviewing experts, highlighting popular as well as the scientific literature (on productivity, time management, focus, habit and performance improvement), discussing technology’s effect on getting things done, reviewing books in the genre, and debating important work culture, technology and productivity topics of the day. If you'd like to discuss these topics with us, ask a question and connect with other podcast listeners, join our free community inside Personal Productivity Club (a digital community for productivity enthusiasts) here: https://productivitycast.net/community

NOTE: You may notice ProductivityCast written as "Productivity Cast" (with a space). That's simply so that Alexa, Google, Siri and others can understand when you ask them to play the podcast.
