Hi Shaper ✌️
Welcome to this year's last edition of INFUZED.
I don't know about you, but to me, it's hard to believe that 2022 is already coming to a close.
While every single day of the year is a fresh start for whatever we want to tackle, the end of the calendar year presents us with a beautiful pattern interrupt that reminds us to reflect and plan ahead.
Making new plans & new year's resolutions are great fun, but for true growth and meaningful steps forward reflection is key.
“We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience.” ― John Dewey
We do them professionally, but they are even more valuable for our personal life: annual reviews.
Here is
"The Ultimate Annual Review"
From finding your way around town or on a hike to finding your way through life(!), it's difficult to know where to head if you don't know where you've been and where you are right now.
There are a million ways to do a personal annual review. The best one I ever did and which I will do again this year is the one Steve Schlafman puts out. It helps me give structure to the process while making sure I do come along all the important steps.
The 6 Steps as he introduces them:
Moments & Milestones: What were your significant moments, milestones and memories?
Reflections & Lessons: What were your lessons and learnings from this year?
Current Life Assessment: How satisfied are you in 12 life dimensions?
Intentions: What would you like to change and accomplish next year?
Goals & Action Plan: What are your goals and immediate next steps?
Future Self: What do you want to write to your future self at the end of next year?
If you just want to do a brief one, you can use these 6 questions to guide you.
I do recommend going for & through the full blueprint by downloading Steve's guiding blueprint at annualreview.life in your favorite format (Notion, Google Docs, or PDF).
I hope it is super helpful for you, too, by highlighting the important memories from 2022 and giving you clarity going forward into 2023!
