The coming of a new year is always a time for reflection. At the same time, I wouldn’t say I like making new years resolutions directly, and I like doing reviews, planning, and strategy session for myself and my work.
I have done annual reflections or reviews each year. This year I took a template I found online asking great questions.
It breaks down personal/professional accomplishments and disappointments.

Similar to Spotify-wrapped or Steam-wrapped – I put together my stats for my website. How many blogs were written, how many words, and other metrics from analytics:
I will put together a 2023 plan over the next 2 weeks. Then I will share the business plans along with the personal ones. The two overlap with growing the personal brand, building more of the business, and even networking more often professionally.
