Practices that may help
- The Annual Review (Tim Ferriss Method)
Tim Ferriss’s annual review is built on two questions — "What went well this year?" and "What did not go well this year?" — applied systematically across major life domains and answered with enough specificity to produce different decisions next year. It is a practitioner tool without clinical evidence, but its mechanisms (structured reflection, explicit failure review, behavioral specificity) are consistent with goal-review and learning research. - Spend more time on "what did not go well" than on what did
Failure analysis contains the most actionable information in any honest review.
The Annual Review (Tim Ferriss Method) - Recover from setbacks without quitting the goal
Build a routine for bouncing back so setbacks don’t end the pursuit.
Grit: Passion and Perseverance, Honestly Assessed - Generate a stop-doing list, not just a to-do list for next year
What you stop doing next year is as important as what you start.
The Annual Review (Tim Ferriss Method) - Go deep on "what went well" — extract the recipe, not just the win

The Annual Review (Tim Ferriss Method) - Gather raw material before reflecting
Pull the data — calendar, photos, notes, emails — before you begin reflecting, so memory does not do all the work.
