中山市东区齐东:个人年中检讨：最近自己都在忙什么？

本帖写自雪莉

In business the end of the first half of the year marks a time to sit back and examine how things have been progressing. Stock prices, employee involvement, productivity, sales, and goals are all poured over in detail. If this is seen as so important for businesses to do (when done correctly of course), why do we tend to neglect examining our own progress?

在商业中，到了年中的时候就是一个稍作休息进行自我检讨的时间。企业会在这个时候回顾上半年的工作并了解工作进度。这些就包括股票价格、员工投入、生产率、销售额还有所要达到的指标等都会逐一分析。既然在商业中年中检讨如此重要（当然前提是恰当的做好），我们还有什么理由不把它用于检验自己的工作呢？

So whether you make New Year’s resolutions, more formal personal goals or just set general life directions for yourself it’s a good exercise to examine your progress towards your personal goals. Here is how I do my personal mid-year reviews for my family, financial, health, spiritual and educational goals.

所以不管你是许了新年愿望、设定更有规划的个人目标还是仅仅是简单的给自己设定了未来努力的方向，那都是检验自己离预定目标还有多远一次很好的方式。

How to do a personal mid-year review

怎样做好年中检讨

1. Revisit goals. Take a look at the goals you came up with earlier this year (or even last year). Beside each one make an update of your progress on that goal. Have you made any headway? Are you finished already? Basically anything you’ve done or are doing to see this thing to the end, write it down.

1.重新审视先前制定的目标。回顾自己今年（甚至于上一年）所构想的目标。抛开原定的目标不说，先把自己为此目标所开展的工作全部在脑子里想一遍，看看自己有没有进步或是否已经完成了目标。最基本的，你要给自己工作进展到了哪一步或是你完成目标所做的相关事情做一个记录。

2. What went really well? After updating your goals think about all the things you’ve accomplished that aren’t on that list. Include things such as:

2.有哪些做的好的地方？在重新审视了自己的目标后，想想有哪些自己完成的事情是没有在预定计划中的。你要考虑的有：

Instances where you went above and beyond the call of duty. 

列举一些表明自己做的偏离目标或是无关目标的事情。

New things you tried that you never thought you would do. 

有做过哪些新的尝试是之前想都没想过的。

Activities that unexpectedly brought you joy. 

有哪些让你喜出望外的活动。

Praise or positive feedback you received for something you did. 

有做过哪些受表扬或是得到不错的反馈的事情。

An activity that brought you great success (however you define success). 

一次让你获得巨大成功的活动(你个人认为是成功的也可以）。

The point with this exercise is to get a clear picture of what you’ve done, what direction you’re headed and if what you are actually doing is in line with the goals you set out to accomplish. Becoming aware of activities, that unexpectedly brought you joy for example, can change your direction and result in a much happier, more fulfilling later part of the year.

年中检讨的目的在于明确自己目前的工作进度、自己正努力的方向还有自己所做的一切是否与自己的既定目标相符。比如，意识到哪些活动是让自己喜出望外的，可以适时帮助自己调整方向，让下半年的工作更轻松快乐，还能得到令人满意的结果。

3. List resources for success. Basically, what do you need to successfully achieve the goals that are still appropriate for you? List out material items such as software, notebooks, and reference materials – but don’t stop there. Remember that people are a fabulous resource. Seek out those who have achieved similar goals or who are experts on the topic of your goal. Use the Internet to locate people around the world that have experience doing what you want to do and send them a friendly, sincere, but brief email requesting their help. The majority of the time people are more than willing to help.

3.列出实现目标所需要的资源。最起码的，要知道自己需要什么来实现这个适合自己的目标。把相关物料比如软件设备，笔记本及相关参考资料都罗列出来，但有了这些还不够。别忘了人才是最有价值的资源。要找到那些有实现相关目标的人或是在相关领域的专家来协助自己。利用互联网搜索世界上有相关经验的人，然后给他们发一封简短的电子邮件，诚心请求他们帮助你。大部分的人都会很乐意帮你。

4. Looking forward. Take a minute and give some thought to what is coming in the next 6 months. Special events, holidays, parties, celebrations, major milestones etc. Can any of these things be tied to your goals? For example, if one of your goals is to be more involved in your community are there any garage sales, block parties, fall suppers, or Christmas toy drives coming up that you can participate in? If not, is this something you can initiate and take the lead on?  By being proactive now and looking for activities for the next 6 months you are less likely to miss a great opportunity.

4.展望未来。用一分钟时间简单预测一下在下半年会有什么样的发展。想想会有哪些特别的事情、假日、聚会、庆祝活动、重要转折等等。这些事情是否会与自己的奋斗目标相关呢？假设你的其中一个目标将与你生活的社区有更多的关联，你是否会参与到旧货出售、街区聚会、秋季聚餐或是即将到来的圣诞玩具疯狂抢购活动这些活动中呢？如果这些都不太可能发生，你是不是可以动员大家，领导他们举办这样的活动呢？通过对未来的展望，考虑下半年所要开展的相关活动，这样就不至于错过更多大好机会。

5. Celebrate. Get used to the idea of celebrating your successes. Even if you haven’t accomplished all that you set out to do, celebrate the fact that you have made a step in the right direction, no matter how small.  Don’t beat yourself up over not getting as far as you should have or could have. Realize there really is no “should” or “could” there’s only what is.

5.适时的庆祝自己的成功。要有取得成功时为自己庆祝的习惯。尽管你还没有全部达成目标，只要是在正确的方向上前进了一小步都值得庆祝。别为事情没有预想的顺利而自责。要意识到没有所谓的“应该是这样的”或者"可以这样的“，最后的结果才能说明一切。

It’s good to check in occasionally and take note of where you are. Are you happy with the direction you are moving in? Are you doing things from a position of happiness, joy or love? Or out of obligation, guilt or manipulation? Spend 30 minutes or so on your mid-year review and work at aligning what you feel with what you do.  If you do what you love, you’ll love what you do.

不定期的查看一下或是了解一些工作进展是很好的。你是否为自己所努力的感到开心呢？你是出于寻找幸福、为获得开心还是仅仅是钟爱它而去做事的，还是由于职责所在、心存遗憾或者享受那种操纵感？花上大概半个小时的时间给自己的工作做个年中检讨来找准个人喜好和实际工作的关系，如果你做的是自己喜欢的事情，你就会热爱你所做的事情。

Do you do mid-year reviews? What approach do you use? What’s been most helpful?
