0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.
0:11.1	This is your host Sarah Hart Unger and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning
0:15.2	and planning adjacent.
0:17.2	Welcome to your mid-year refresh.
0:19.7	It's July 1st as this episode airs, which actually is on a Monday.
0:24.7	January 1st this year was also on a Monday, so it's kind of nice to have these lovely fresh start days in the first month of the year and the seventh month of the year.
0:35.4	Today is not actually the midpoint of the year. I guess that's in a day
0:39.1	or two since there are more days in the back half of the year due to February being kind of short.

1:17.8	1st if you really need one. Maybe the beginning of the year didn't go as planned or you just
1:23.2	weren't in a place where you could have a fresh start and so it's nice to know that there
1:27.2	are other options that sort of feel you could have a fresh start. And so it's nice to know that there are other
1:27.5	options that sort of feel right to do a similar thing. This is also a wonderful time to do a mid-year
1:35.4	checkpoint. I don't always have a mid-year checkpoint as part of my personal planning system,
1:41.3	except for the fact that my best of both worlds co-host, Laura and I always do an
1:45.7	episode mid-year talking about our goals. I tried to convince her we needed to do this every single
