Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I look at what went wrong this year I catch myself blaming the timing, other people, the circumstances
- When I do this alone in my head it’s too easy to let myself off the hook and skate past the uncomfortable parts
- We solve the immediate thing but the same ugly dynamic underneath stays exactly the same, so the next disagreement plays out identically
- Every year I pile new goals on top of an already-overloaded life and wonder why none of them stick
- The second things get tense I snap into the same move every time without choosing it
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) - Share the review with someone who will ask honest questions
A review held privately is easier to fudge; one shared with an honest questioner is harder to rationalize.
