Here are a set of retrospective questions I ask myself at the end of each year.
The goal is to reflect and look back on the highs and lows of last year, and capture ideas you have in mind for next year. You can copy and paste prompts in your notion page, a word doc, or write it out in a physical journal — whatever is easiest for you.
I like to do this activity in a cozy coffee shop while listening to some mellow low-fi jazz. ☕️🎶
Happy journaling! ✍️
Cheers, Chie
