I’ve done my fair share of yearly, half yearly and quarterly reflections. Big fan. Today I am sharing some of my all time favorite reflection questions.
These are questions that I believe best set you up for a more successful and aligned year ahead of you.
That’s the goal. I am NOT a fan of planning next year in the absence of reflecting on the current one – whether you had goals and plans this year or not.
Reflection questions:
We start off positive, and then get into some more challenging questions – where I want you to question and push yourself.
Answer these for career or business and personal.
What went well this year?
Where did I grow the most?
Where did I surprise myself?
Where do I feel stagnant or apathetic?
How did I get uncomfortable? Did I get uncomfortable? Or did I stay in comfort?
What did I let go of, if anything? AND what should I have let go of – Totally or sooner?
Monthly bullet point + emotional reflection
Got this from Hillary Rushford’s year in review. I don’t know what she currently offers, but I love this exercise and it’s the most important thing for me to do annually.
Go month by month – look at your planner (this is what I do), and jot down key events. I do this for life and work.
For instance if I was on maternity leave, or we had guests every weekend, or we were moving, or had 7 contractors at the house that month, I’d note that.
These add context to the emotion or theme you’re going to choose for that month.
You can note revenue as well. See trends, highs and lows. When you got influxes of clients. Did you join a course or go to an event? Jot these things down.
Once all your bullet points are in for the month recap, then choose ONE WORD – an emotion or theme that encompasses that month.
This is a challenge, and where things get…real.
You will likely see a trend or overall vibe of your year – maybe seasons. And that, in my opinion, leads to clarity on what might need to change for the year ahead.
AND THAT, leads to our last question to ask.
How do you want to feel next year?
Then plan some decisions that
- You have control over
- Will bring you that/those feelings regardless of circumstance.
