Welcome to June!
As we enter the sixth month of the year, let's take a moment to reflect on our journey so far. Have the goals we set in January remained at the forefront of our minds, or have they been overshadowed by our daily routines? It's easy to lose sight of our objectives without deliberate planning and evaluation.
One effective strategy to keep our goals in focus is to conduct a self-evaluation every 90 days. This practice allows us to assess our progress, identify strengths and weaknesses, and refine our goals and processes.
?It's essential to recognize the significance of these periodic evaluations for several reasons:
1. Sharpening Our Focus: Regular check-ins prevent our goals from slipping into the background, ensuring that we continue moving in the right direction.
2. Celebrating Every Victory: Acknowledging small achievements along the way fuels our motivation and sustains our energy for the journey ahead.
3. Course Correction: Self-evaluations enable us to make course corrections when necessary, helping us adapt our strategies to stay on the path to success.
4. Building Confidence: Witnessing our growth through self-reflection boosts our confidence and empowers us to face new challenges.

Here’s simple ways to make your delf evaluation more fun:
1. Grab a notebook, sketchpad, or even a voice recorder. Imagine yourself crafting a visual map of your progress, or recording a motivational pep talk for your future self at the next pit stop.
2. Choose a fun theme for each quarter. Perhaps "Spring Cleaning Your Skills" for Q2, or "Conquering the Content Mountain" for Q3. Let the theme inspire your approach and keep things fresh.
3. Turn self-evaluation into a rewarding game! Award yourself points for completed tasks or learned skills. Treat yourself to a reward after a successful quarter, reinforcing positive behavior and making the process more enjoyable.
4. Leverage on the power of community: Post a snippet of your self-evaluation journey on LinkedIn, anonymize details if needed. It might inspire others to start theirs! You might be surprised by the connections you forge and the support you receive.
By incorporating these tips and a touch of fun, you can turn the 90-day self- into a rewarding and engaging practice for lasting professional growth.
