Goal Progress or Goal Mess? My Honest Mid-Year Check-In

Let’s get real — most of us don’t finish our yearly goals exactly as planned, and that’s okay! Life shifts, priorities change, and obstacles pop up. In this video, I’m sharing how I’m adapting my approach to yearly goals as life evolves, while staying true to what matters most.

I’ll walk you through how I’m pivoting my 2025 goals using my Makselife Goal-Setting System and Just Scribbles Planner, adapting goals while staying focused on personal growth, self-development, and what actually works for life right now. This video is about normalizing changing plans, making adjustments, and giving yourself permission to reset when you need it.

I’ll be breaking down each of the 8 Makselife life categories, sharing what my original goals were, what’s actually happened so far, and how I’m realigning for the next six months. Plus, I’m mapping out my updated Quarter 3 goals and giving you a sneak peek at how I’m using my planners to stay aligned moving forward.

👉 This is your permission to check in, reset, and make your goals work for your real life.
