Oh boy.

I’m glad you asked.

Here’s what works for me:

- don’t plan too far into the future, the further you do the less specific you should be

I like annual visions for each area of my life, so once a year reflect on each area and think where you’d like to be a year from now. My annual time capsule I call it, is coming up next week and I can’t wait!

- do monthly reflections

I have a google calendar reminder that links to a journal template. Here I briefly reflect once a month on what’s working and what’s not in each area

This is more tactical. Habits and things to help implement the vision

- ad hoc reflection

When struggling with something or needing to evaluate, I’ll just open a doc and type. Stream of conscious style to get it all out there.

Then read it and pluck out next steps. Sometimes this means pivoting, sometimes it’s just a deeper understanding of why the path I’m on is the right one.

Sorry for the sloppy writing here. I actually would like to write this up better when I’m not on mobile.

Hope it helps
