Dear Friend

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle

To possess any desirable character trait, you must start acting and thinking as if you already have it. When your thoughts and actions align with your ideals, your self-esteem will soar.

We are already in Q2 2025. Ensure you take time out to evaluate Q1 and how you intend to maximize Q2. Here’s a simple guide from Stratejoy to help you.

🚀 Getting Started

First, gather any material you created at the beginning of the year that has to do with your theme, goals, resolutions, project plans, etc. If you don’t have anything like that – it’s okay! You’ll just start fresh. You also need your journal or a Word document to process the questions we’ll be going over below.

✨ Step One. Review Q1 (January, February, March).

• What went really well?

• What was challenging?

• What were the biggest lessons I learned?

• What are my favourite memories?

• Was I honouring my values/ways of being? How? What might have been lacking?

🎯 Step Two. Evaluate Progress on Q1 Project & Maintenance Goals.

• Did you accomplish what you wanted to in the first three months of this year?

• Have you celebrated your success?

• Who did you share it with?

• Do you need to retool any timelines?

• Was there a failure that needs to be evaluated?

🔄 Step Three. Preparation for Q2 (April, May, June).

• What values/ways of being will be my focus in Q2?

• What needs to go on the “blackboard” as tasks?

• How do I want to feel in the next 3 months with my accomplishments?

🗂 Step Four. Create Q2 Project & Maintenance Goals.

• What is a goal that has a deadline and can be “checked” off that I want to handle in Q2? Start my business? Plan that trip? Go digital? Change Jobs?

• That’s your project goal! Write it down. Make it real.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can change the outer aspects of their lives, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds." - William James

To be productive, you must start acting and thinking like a go-getter.

A quarterly review is a great step in the right direction.
