How to do Goal Reflections for Continued Progress
For those of you using your planner to help you with goals, one key part of that process is doing reflections and progress check-ins. Taking time to pause and assess how you are doing allows you the opportunity to figure what is and isn't working, make any necessary adjustments, and give yourself credit to keep that momentum going.
There are a variety of ways to approach this reflection piece and it's essential you do it in a way to works for you! Maybe you journal in a separate notebook, make notes in the blank pages of your weekly planner or have a monthly coaching call with your coach, mentor or accountability partner. There is no right or wrong way to do your goal reflection/check-ins, but sometimes sitting down to a blank page can leave you feeling lost and overwhelmed. So today we have some prompts and tools we want to share to help you with the goal reflection/progress check-in process.
Prompts Ideas:
- What is working?
- What isn't working?
- What can I do differently to get closer to my goal/be more consistent?
- What support do I need to make progress?
- What will help me overcome the obstacles in my way?
- What lessons have I learned?
- Is this goal or habit still important to me?
- What are my wins?
- What were my challenges or struggles?
- What am I grateful for?
- On a scale of 1-10 (10 highest) what is my progress on each goal?
