Pragmatic Technologies for Life and Business Success®
Steve Jobs said, “you can only connect the dots looking backwards.” I believe that year-end is the perfect time to connect these dots by reflecting on your accomplishments and analyzing them thinking backwards.
As you review the checklist I prepared below, I suggest, for each of the items, you reflect, and identify:
- Where are you today?
- What steps (going backwards) have you taken this year to get here?
- What actions will you take in the upcoming year to expand and dramatically improve?
Here is my thinking backwards checklist:
- Success analysis
- Items and tasks to eliminate or decrease
- Leverage your energy
- Financial position
- Health and fitness
- Spirituality
- Your impact on others
- Contributions
- Grateful for and grateful to
- Time to relax and invigorate
- Relationships, friendships, and family
- Meeting interesting and thought-provoking individuals
- Embracing new developmental experiences
- Reading, learning, exploring
- Creating new products and services and innovations
- Raising the bar with technology, socials media and web presence (strategy, content, marketing)
- Reaching or exceeding your business and personal goals
- Accountability – staying on track
- Creating an action plan, scheduling, and taking action
- Your legacy
Although year-end is the perfect time to reflect and evaluate on these questions, I think we ought to review these questions monthly to make sure we stay on track, reach our goals, and improve our lives.
I want to thank you for your continued support and for being a part of my life.
I say it’s now time to celebrate and reward yourself.
Happy New Year!
