I felt like I was drifting...
And it felt like I was doing stuff just for the heck for it.
I noticed I started just going with the flow. Passively taking everything in and not moving with intention.
My head was foggy about what actually matters. I got too caught up with the day to day stuff that I started to lose touch of the key things that matter.
Have you ever felt that way?
When that sense of unease has started bothering me, I knew I needed to pause and recalibrate.
So I did.
Last Sunday, I did a MidYear Reset thing. With a mug of hot cocoa next to my laptop. And tabs of notes open.
Here's the MidYear Reset structure I used (in case you need to do something similar):
5-year vision — what does life and business look like in 5 years
1-year goal — the outcome that has to happen for the 5-year to be on track
90-day plan — the single result that matters most in the next 90 days
Weekly KPIs — the input numbers I actually control
Daily routine — the specific things I do most days
So I did all that. But here's the game-changer:
Running my MidYear Plan through Elon's 5-Step Algorithm.
Question every requirement: Verify why it exists and if it is necessary.
Delete every possible step: Remove all non-essential steps or tasks that do not directly drive outcomes.
Simplify what's left: Streamline processes to make execution as straightforward as possible.
Accelerate cycle time: Speed up completion through focus or delegation.
Automate last: Perform tasks manually first to shape what can be automated.
The result? About a third of my plan got cut.
And it flagged things I didn’t even consider or thought about.
It was super helpful that I created a Claude Skill for it. That way, I can use it every time I need it, like…
When planning a sales campaign.
Building a new AI system.
Planning the next quarter.
You get the drill.
If you’re curious how I turned it into an AI tool I can use on demand, check out my new video here.
Btw, what do you usually do when you need to recalibrate?
