I have same old new year resolutions but past few years, this is what I have been doing.
For the year that passed, I go over my phone photo album, recall key events in life of family members, friends I met, books I read, major purchases, basic fitness parameters (mostly from Apple Watch, weight etc), financial health, progress made in hobbies. I write these down on a paper. Not very detailed though.
Looking back it’s been a great experience to see the life progression.
