Stay on Track This Summer!

I'm curious - have you ever found it challenging to stay focused on your goals during the summer months? 

What strategies do you use to keep yourself motivated? 

How do you balance relaxation and productivity during this season?

According to research from the Journal of Applied Psychology people can lose up to 30% of their productivity and focus during breaks or vacations if they don't have a plan to stay intentional about their goals. Additionally, a study from Harvard Business Review found that individuals who set specific, challenging goals are 90% more likely to achieve them compared to those who set easy or vague goals.  

What if you challenged yourself this summer to aim higher, stay focused and see the difference it makes??

Success Tips:

Summer can be a challenging time to maintain focus on your personal and professional goals. Here are some strategies to help you stay on track:

1. Set Clear Goals: Break down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks and set specific deadlines.
2. Create a Schedule: Plan your weeks in advance, allocating time for both work and play.
3. Stay Accountable: Share your goals with a friend, colleague or mentor who can help keep you accountable.
4. Leverage Tools & Technology: Use tools and apps to remind you of your tasks and track your progress.

Success Strategy:

Here's a simple yet powerful strategy to help you stay focused on your goals this summer:

1. Visualize Success: Spend a few minutes each day visualizing what achieving your goals looks like.  First thing in the morning and before bedtime are ideal.
2. Daily Reflection: At the end of each day, reflect on what you accomplished and what you can improve on.  
3. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.  After all, it’s the compound effect of the small wins that add up!

Remember, staying focused during the summer is possible with intentional planning and a positive mindset. Your goals are like a road trip – with a clear route and determination, you can reach your destination successfully.

Think of your goals as a road trip. During summer, it's easy to get off course or take detours that might seem appealing at the moment. However, getting lost or veering off your planned route can lead to lost time and direction. Just as you would use a map or GPS to stay on track during a road trip, use your goals as a guide to keep you focused and moving in the right direction so you can reach your destination.
