Every year for the past 4 years I’ve done an annual review where I reflect on my year.

In business, it’s typical to do an end-of-year review or an annual shareholders meeting where you reflect on your year to assess where you’re at.  

The only way to improve is to know past behavior, record what happened, and know your next steps.  

I believe we should have a structure to do this for our personal lives… so I’m sharing my personal system today:  

The first video I’m sharing is my annual review system which is the questions I ask at the end of every year to figure out:

  • What went well
  • What sucked
  • Relationships (who have I been spending time with?)
  • Experiences (is my bucket list getting smaller)
  • Favorites
