Take time to reflect

Caroline Mendez

Take time to reflect

In the hustle and bustle of our everyday life and business, we rarely take the time for reflection.  

Reflection is a rich and powerful process that stops you from the never-ending doing, provides new insights, changes behavior from unconscious to conscious choice and gives you a better understanding of what’s working and what’s not.

The challenge

Before the end of the year, take 40 minutes to sit down without distraction and answer these questions to the fullest. 

1. What were your top three greatest learnings this year, personally and professionally?

2. What do you want to continue to do that was successful?

3. What did you enjoy doing most?

4. What did you avoid doing? And why?

5. What services did you delegate/pay for? How well did that work?

6. Who are the top three most influential people you've associated with to support you in your life or profession?

7. What were the most effective productivity techniques you used?

8. What three things do you commit to attend to or accomplish by the end of the year? (Set specific next steps and timelines for this.)

9. What are your top three greatest strengths and how did you use them this year?

10. What were your top three most satisfying accomplishments?
