Have you ever felt like the year was flying by? It's already halfway through 2024!
In January, we kicked off the new year with the "New Year, New Goals" challenge.
This month is the perfect time to pause and reflect on your goals. The "Mid-Year Check-In" challenge is your chance to assess your progress, learn from experiences, and reignite your motivation for the remaining months.
Grab that pen, and let's dive in!
Victorious Achievements: What goals have you achieved so far? Did you master a new skill, hit a personal target, or finally tackle that project you've been putting off? Write them down and celebrate these wins! Recognizing your accomplishments is a powerful motivator that will move you forward.
Learning from Setbacks: Did something not go according to plan? It happens to the best of us! Instead of feeling discouraged, view these experiences as valuable lessons. Ask yourself: What went wrong? What could I have done differently? This self-reflection will equip you to adjust your approach and avoid similar pitfalls in the future.
Unfinished Business: Think about the goals that still remain. Are they within reach? Do they need some tweaking? Write down the things you want to achieve by the end of December. Be specific and set clear deadlines to stay motivated.
Shifting Goals: Life throws curveballs sometimes, and your priorities might have shifted since the beginning of the year. That's okay! Revisit your initial goals and adjust them as needed. Remember, your goals should reflect where you are now and where you want to be.
We understand that staying motivated can be challenging. Don't go it alone! In the comment section below, share your achievements, learnings, remaining goals, and/or new goals you want to accomplish by the end of the year. We're here to support and encourage you and keep you moving forward.
So, are you ready to take charge of your year? Let's do this together!

The mid-year check-in challenge was an opportunity to think about what I've done and how far I'm from my yearly goals. For this half of 2024, I'm glad I got a side job and could balance my study routine, which got me even more productive and focused. To organize my studies, finances, and even feelings Notion was a good friend, helping me to keep everything on track. Also, during this time I was able to develop new habits like reading for 20 minutes every day, keeping myself working on at least one project of Frontend Mentor per week, and daily thinking about HackerHank challenges (sometimes, I'm not able to do one per day and keep thinking about some problem for more time). Recently I joined VC community, which I'm so glad to be part of and was so welcome, even still not able to join such interesting meetings often because of my work time, I love to follow every discussed topic and I hope to join more meetings and events soon.
I actually switched from Web to Mobile Development this year. Also, I started writing articles on this platform, DEV. That was last month. It's been a good, though, quite busy year. I'd always remember to be thankful for those little things. Thank you, Ayu.
That's awesome that you started writing articles! Congrats! 👏🏼
How's mobile development? Do you like it so far?
