I like to think that reflecting on the year past is the same as tying a nice ribbon around a package – finishing it all off nicely š
It seems to me like I can’t get on with the new year properly unless I reflect on what went well, what didn’t go well and most importantly, what I want from my life for the next year.
Do you agree?
Well then, let’s get to it.
Grab a notebook and pen or simply open up a new doc on your computer (but please close all other sites – this is meant to be a time of reflection, not distraction).
What went really well for you?
Why do you think that is?
Is there anything you want to duplicate this year?
What was challenging?
What do you need to let go of to move forward?
What do you want more of in your life in 2012?
That’s enough to chew on for now.
I’ll share one answer to each question to give you an idea of how this works.
What went really well for you?
I wrote the book!
Why do you think that is?
I carved out solid blocks of time and just did it.
Is there anything you want to duplicate this year?
yes, how I created time pockets for self-care, relaxation, getting fit and creativity (self-expression)
What was challenging?
When things out of my control happened and threw me off course (gall bladder operation!)
What do you need to let go of to move forward?
Unrealistic expectations of myself – I may feel like Superwoman but I’m not
What do you want more of in your life in 2012?
Rich, meaningful relationships
Ready to have a go?
Have at it.
And remember to book your Personal Strategy Session with me to start 2012 on a great note.
Do you care to share any of your answers with me too?
PS thanks for the FABULOUS words of the year you’ve been sharing with me. If you haven’t read through the comments, please do – there’s gold over there.
PPS I have verrrry exciting news to share with you on Monday. I’m celebrating a friend’s success.
I love this, Marcia! I try to do this around this time too, but it’s not that efficient. Your questions will definitely help me get more out of this little bainxercise! (Yes, I totally made up that name! LOL)
Hi Marcia,
I just found you via “orgjunkie” and am so glad I did. I am looking forward to being so much better at time management and being organised this year and have been reading about it as much as I can. I’m looking forward to receiving your tips in my inbox.
Take care.

You totally inspire me! I will be working on answering these questions today and posting later. But I’ll also be working on my word of the year. I’m really getting stumped on that one.
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
I know thiis web page gives quality based articles or reviews and extra
stuff, is there any other website which offers these kinds of information in quality?
