Hi there, Reader

When my kids were babies and toddlers (especially the year I had a 3 year old and twin 1 year olds), someone said something to me that has always stuck with me:

“The days are long, but the years are short.”

I had one of those moments yesterday.

Even though every day seems like a never-ending stream of tasks, I was looking at my calendar and realized that July 1st is literally the halfway point of 2025.

Halfway. Through the entire year.

When did that happen?! It feels like we were just making New Year's resolutions six weeks ago, not six months ago.

But here's what struck me as I sat with that realization: July 1st isn't just another day or another month. It's like getting a second New Year.

Think about it - you get all that fresh start energy without the pressure of a massive life overhaul. No crowded gyms, no overwhelming resolution lists, no "new year, new me" pressure. (Anyone else feel passionately about that phrase, either for or against?)

Just a clean slate for the second half of your year.

Task: Give Yourself a Mid-Year Check-In

Take a few minutes this week to reflect on these questions:

• What's been working really well in your life and business so far this year?
• What's been feeling chaotic or overwhelming?
• If you could wave a magic wand and fix one thing about how your second half of 2025 goes, what would it be?
• What would make July-December feel more organized and intentional?

Don't overthink it. Just notice what comes up. Sometimes the things that feel most overwhelming are actually the easiest to fix once we name them.

Free Offer: Your Mid-Year Reflection Questions

I've put together a simple list of reflection questions to help you process the first half of 2025 and set intentions for the second half. It's nothing fancy - just what I’m asking myself to help me be clear on how I want the rest of my year to look like. (And making sure I celebrate my successes so far.)

And if you don’t want to download it, here are the questions:

Looking back:

• What’s at least one thing that went better than expected this year?
• What’s been draining your energy the most?
• What successes from the first half of 2025 are you most proud of?

Looking forward:

• What was your word of the year this year? (Or your goals)
• Do you still feel the same or would you like to update it? Write your word (or goals) for the second half of the year. (It can be the same as above or it can be different.)
• What are one to two projects you’d like to accomplish in Q3 and Q4?
• What does that look like broken down into months? Are you giving yourself enough time to actually celebrate the seasons and the holidays?
• What would make the next six months of 2025 feel calmer and more intentional?

Paid Offer: Happy New (Half) Year Live Course

Speaking of second-half fresh starts... I'm planning something special for July.

What if instead of waiting until January 2026 to get organized, you started your second half of the year with systems that actually work?

I'm launching my very first live organizing course - four weeks of getting your digital life in order from July 6 to August 2, just in time for the second half of 2025. Think of it as your mid-year reboot.

More details coming this week, but I wanted to plant the seed. Because sometimes the best time for a fresh start isn't January 1st.

Sometimes it's July 1st.

Here's to making the second half of 2025 your most organized yet,

Allie
