Revisit a shared goal after circumstances change

Check whether the original goal still fits before interpreting slower progress as lack of effort.

Try this

Name the change in time, resources or interest. Separate completed work from what remains.
Choose to keep, reduce, pause or stop the goal. Record the revised agreement without erasing the contributions already made.

A worked example

“We planned twelve outings, but our schedules changed. Would three unhurried afternoons be a better goal now?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

A revised goal should not fabricate completion of the old one. Preserve what actually happened and make the new target explicit only if both people want it.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
