You are halfway through. The midterm just happened. Before you continue to Week 5, take 20 minutes to look at the four weeks behind you and the four weeks ahead. This reflection auto-saves as you write it.
Six prompts, written for the version of you that has just finished four weeks of recovery work and a midterm. Be honest, not retrospective. Real description of where you are, not a story you tell yourself about where you were going. The point of the reflection is to inform the second half, not to perform progress.
Write a few sentences about your Week 1 self. What was happening, what you felt, what you wrote in your Week 1 audit. Specific is better than dramatic.
Three specific things that are different now from Week 1. "I study better" is not specific enough. "I do active recall instead of re-reading" is. "I sleep before exams now" is. "I can focus for 45 minutes where I used to last 15" is.
Honest. What did you commit to in Week 1 that you have not actually done? What is still true that you wished was different? Naming the gap is the precondition to closing it. Pretending the gap is not there is how the second half goes wrong.
What did your midterm tell you? Not just the score, the experience. Where did you feel ready, where did you feel lost. What surprised you. What was easier than expected. What was harder. Read your midterm as data about your recovery, not as a verdict on your worth.
Based on the first four weeks, what do you predict will be different about the next four? What will you do differently? What will stay the same? A hypothesis is testable. It is not a goal or an aspiration. It is a specific prediction you can check against reality at Week 8.
One specific thing you commit to for the second half. One. Not three, not five. One. The discipline of choosing one thing forces you to pick what actually matters most. The other things you wanted to commit to belong in your weekly decision plans, not here.
