134: Mid-Year Goals and Routines

Note MBA

Mid-year goals and routines have been top of mind for us these past few weeks. Mid-year goals for obvious reasons, we've done a mid-year goal review show every year since 2015. However, the topic of routines, though something we've definitely covered before, isn't something we've talked about like this before.

Mid-Year Goals and Routines

Today's show format is a bit different. We wanted to have all three of us on to talk about this topic, but it just couldn't happen. So, we've got Robby kicking us off with his thoughts on where he's at for his mid-year goals and routines. And, if I'm being honest, when he sent over the audio, it wasn't what I was expecting.

This year has seemed like a runaway train for me. Though I've accomplished a many of my goals, some of the important ones have been incredibly elusive. It wasn't until I listened to Robby's take on his year that it hit me as to why everything has seemed so haphazard.

Because it has been haphazard!

He brought me some wonderful insight into where he's been with his lack of routine. And our unwittingly mirrored situation was refreshing to hear. Not in an entirely misery love company kind of way, but it's helpful to know that other people have similar struggles as you. And it can be empowering to hear about their situation, and how they are getting on with improvement.

Your Life in Weeks

An article written a few years ago has stuck with me in a way many books haven't even managed. It's called Your Life in Weeks, and I talked about the chart presented in this article in the show.

Basically, if you made a grid of 52 circles by 90 circles you'd have a 90 year life represented as simplistically as possible. It's an interested graph to look at, however, it becomes very unnerving - very quickly.

You look up and down at the axes and find where you sit on the chart - and you marvel. You're all at once taken with all the time that has passed, and all the time that's left. Depending how old you are all in the context of that last sentence is going to be very different.

Here's an example of that chart, but I'd recemmond you still take time to go check out the article:
