I can summarize the essence of my Annual Reviews as:
Discovering what you truly want for your life, again and again, in more subtle shades and deeper layers each time.
Doing an Annual Review is simple - here’s a few questions to get you going:
1. Preparation
• Set aside time and a quiet space for your review.
• Take notes of ideas/ projects/ goals that come up to get them off your mind.
• What areas of your life do you want to gain clarity or inspiration?
• How do you want to feel?
• Set a deadline for your review.
2. Capture
• What were your favorite songs/photos/videos?
• What was your favorite reading?
• What were your favorite notes?
