If You’re Feeling Disconnected From Your Goals Right Now… Read This
So.
You made some big plans this spring.
Q2 came in hot, and you were ready to finally get clear, get focused, and make some magic happen.
And now?
It’s summer.
Your focus has drifted.
Your energy is weird.
You can’t even remember what your Q2 goals were, let alone how to “get back on track.”
Before you spiral into shame or start Googling new planners, let me offer this:
You’re not failing.
You’re just in a messy middle moment.
And that doesn’t mean your goals are dead.
It just means it’s time to reconnect with them—in a way that actually supports where you are right now.
What most people do when they feel off track:
Rewrite all their goals from scratch
Try to overhaul their routines in one weekend
Berate themselves into “trying harder”
Avoid it entirely and binge-clean their pantry
(None of which actually fix the root issue.)
What I want you to try instead:
1. Pause the panic. You’re not late.
Time didn’t run out.
You didn’t “miss” the window.
You’re allowed to pick up the thread again—without doubling your workload or needing to prove your worth through productivity.
Sometimes, disconnection is your brain’s way of saying:
“Hey… something about this path isn’t working anymore.”
That’s not failure. That’s feedback.
2. Zoom out before you zoom in.
Before jumping back into goal-chasing mode, take a breath and ask:
What season of life am I in now?
What’s changed since I first set these goals?
What still matters to me—and what honestly doesn’t?
We don’t build sustainable momentum by pushing harder.
We build it by making sure the direction still makes sense.
3. Reconnect with the why—not just the list.
When I feel out of sync with my goals, it’s usually not because I’m lazy.
It’s because I’ve lost connection with why they mattered to me in the first place.
Ask yourself:
How did I want to feel when I reached this goal?
What part of me was hoping to be supported, healed, or expanded through this?
That’s your anchor—not the spreadsheet.
4. Make it smaller. Way smaller.
You don’t have to leap back in with a 40-hour reset and a new Notion dashboard.
Start by giving yourself one clear next step—the kind that’s so doable, it almost feels silly.
Open the project file you’ve been avoiding
Write down the actual reason you stopped
Schedule a 30-minute CEO hour to regroup
Small steps aren’t a lack of ambition. They’re a sign of emotional regulation.
Here’s what I’m doing right now:
Instead of starting over, I’m checking in—with my time, my energy, and my capacity.
I’m revisiting my goals through the lens of who I am today, not who I hoped I’d be by now. (This is a big one.)
I’m using tools that support me instead of shame me:
The Time Audit Challenge to check where my energy is actually going
The Clarity to Completion method to finish what matters, without burning yourself out.
Because I don’t need a productivity makeover.
I just need to come home to what I care about.
And I have a feeling… you might, too.
Here’s your nudge:
You’re not too late.
You’re not too scattered.
You’re just due for a reconnection—not a reinvention.
Take a breath.
Reconnect with your “why.”
And start again—with more self-trust this time.
You’ve got this.
