As the new year has begun, it’s time to reflect on the year that passed. Year-end reviews help you remember, recenter and plan for the new year ahead. In addition, it will help you in maintaining a high level of success, performance, and work-life balance. Here are things you might want to cover in your year-end review.
List your accomplishments
You should always start your annual review on a high. No one knows the goals you’ve accomplished except for yourself, so you should always begin by revisiting all the items you’re proud to have achieved. Keep a note of all the things you did throughout the year to avoid forgetting later.
Identify what you can improve
It may be hard to deal with criticism, but that shouldn’t stop you from learning about what you can improve. There is always room to grow and develop. Consider “levelling up” yourself through taking online classes, try reading different books, or expose yourself to unique experiences. It’s essential to know your weaknesses in the past year and plan to improve upon them, so you do not have to face the same difficulties again.
Set new goals for the new year
A year-end review should always include your milestones and goals for the new year. In addition, you should have an action plan to achieve these. Goals can change, but having a clear image in mind can prove to be a powerful tool for you to stay on track. Do a mind map for the new year, look through the goals you set for last year, and revisit them once again before coming up with new ones.
I hope these simple, quick tips will get you started on a new year.
