Mid-Year Vision Board Reality Check (2025)

Mid-Year Vision Board Reality Check (2025)

Spoiler: Some goals thrived. Some ghosted us.

✨ The Mid-Year Chaos Report

We’re halfway through 2025, so naturally… it’s time to panic (just kidding… sort of). In this episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist, we did a full-on reality check on our vision boards. And let’s just say: it was eye-opening. And hilarious. And a little chaotic.

Sara went in with color-coded Canva vibes. Eve had the aesthetically healing board of a girl with a plan. But real life? Yeah… she had other ideas.

🎯 What We Talked About:

  • ✅ The goals we actually stuck with
  • ❌ The ones we quietly abandoned
  • 🔁 The ones that evolved into something completely new
  • 😅 Why ADHD makes planning both empowering and hilarious
  • 🧠 How we’re learning to pivot without guilt
  • Vision boards are great, but let’s be real: by the time June hits, some of those goals are covered in dust and laundry piles. And that’s okay.

🌀 Real Talk for Real Life Goals

This episode isn’t about shaming ourselves for not doing it all. It’s about recognizing the growth that did happen—even if it looks different than what we imagined in January. It’s about finding joy in the messy middle, and giving ourselves space to reset.

Because goal-setting with ADHD isn’t linear. Sometimes the dopamine hits fade. Sometimes priorities shift. And sometimes the best wins are the ones we never saw coming.
