Some years are just for surviving. Ambition can wait a few months while you get your feet back.

Not every stretch of life is for building. Some are for getting through, and a year spent holding things together while something difficult happens is not a gap in your effort or a sign your nerve has gone. Goals keep perfectly well in storage. The expectation that you ought to be making visible progress at all times is probably the first thing worth setting down.

If this is one of those years, you might let the plan sit without filing it under failure. Keep the smallest thread of it if that helps, or put it away entirely. Getting your feet back under you counts as the work.
