(e.g. “Moved house”, “Took part in a virtual panel”, or “Read Lord of the Rings for the 2nd time”.)
What does this year mean to you?
(e.g. What were 3 things you did for the first time? What 3 events/activities brought you extreme joy this year? What are 3 big accomplishments you reached this year?)
What could the next year mean for you?
(e.g. What are 3 habits from this year you should continue doing? Imagine yourself at the end of the next year (it’s a long time). What are 3 big accomplishments you finished that you are proud of?)
How to conduct this activity
With this retrospective template you and your team should reflect on: What happened during your year?: Go through your planning tools (e.g. personal and work calendars, to-do lists, journals, etc) and list any events or activities of significance to you. Capture these as if you were a neutral bystander. (e.g. “Moved house”, “Took part in a virtual panel”, or “Read Lord of the Rings for the 2nd time”.) What does this year mean to you?: Reflect on the events and activities of the past. (e.g. What were 3 things you did for the first time? What 3 events/activities brought you extreme joy this year? What are 3 big accomplishments you reached this year?) What could the next year mean for you?: You’ve looked at the past. Acknowledge what has passed. Now focus on the future. A new year is a new beginning. An opportunity to reset. An opportunity to refocus. Use this section to consider the year ahead of you. (e.g. What are 3 habits from this year you should continue doing? Imagine yourself at the end of the next year (it’s a long time). What are 3 big accomplishments you finished that you are proud of?)
