"It's easy to fall prey to recency bias, focusing on the last few weeks and forgetting earlier events. We also tend to fixate on where we fell short—goals unrealized, tasks unfinished, issues unresolved. These linger in our minds precisely because they remain incomplete. What we often overlook, though, is what we've already achieved. To get a more accurate picture, use your phone's camera roll, online calendar, journals, work self-evaluations, and social media accounts to reacquaint yourself with the full year."
"Next, ask yourself three questions, each of which calls for three answers. The rule of three keeps the exercise simple, efficient, and easy to revisit year after year. 1. What are the three best things I did for myself this year? This question helps you examine how you prioritized your own well-being. How quickly or slowly you arrive at your answers can be revealing in itself."
December often rushes past with holidays, year-end tasks, and planning for the year ahead, leaving little time for reflection. Perform a light Year in Review by reviewing phone camera roll, online calendar, journals, work self-evaluations, and social media to reacquaint with the full year. Keep the process stress-free and make brief notes of standout moments and achievements. Then apply a Three Questions exercise and answer each question with three answers. The rule of three keeps the review simple and repeatable. Begin by listing the three best things done for personal well-being to center self-care.
