Keep Going card questions
When should I send a 'Keep Going' message?
Send a 'Keep Going' message when someone reaches a significant midpoint in a project or goal. It's a perfect way to offer support when the initial excitement wanes and the finish line still feels distant.
What should I write if I'm stuck or it feels awkward?
If you're stuck, focus on their effort and determination. A simple acknowledgment of their hard work, like 'I see how hard you're working and I'm proud of you,' can make a big difference.
How long or formal should a 'Keep Going' message be?
A 'Keep Going' message can be brief or slightly longer, as long as it feels genuine. It doesn't need to be formal unless you're writing to a professional contact; then, a polite and encouraging tone is appropriate.
