Today on ProductivityCast we’re going to be talking about stepping away from getting things done so you can review and reflect, and then get back to getting things done better. It’s halfway through the year and so it’s a good time to discuss the mid-year review. A mid-year review is a practice like any other reflection activity, where we take the time to look over our progress, reevaluate our goals, and recalibrate our personal productivity systems. It's a moment to pause, step back, and gain clarity on where we stand in relation to our aspirations and how we can make the most of the second half of the year. Correction: Ray said "weekly review" at the start of the episode when he actually meant "mid-year review."
