Check why this still matters
WhenWhen an old goal feels stale.
Finish the sentence: This project still matters to me because ___. If no current reason comes to mind, mark it for a deliberate pause or change rather than forcing an answer.
Why it works
An old route deserves a present reason.
Start tiny
Name one current reason, or write unsure.
What you’ll notice
You know whether the old goal still has a place in your life.
When it slips
If you are unsure, leave the decision open and revisit it when you have more context.
