How do you reflect on the past year and set goals for 2022?

SO my 2021 has not exactly been a pinnacle of excellence, lets just say personally i just survived, but i learnt a lot about self during this year from loosing someone so close to you to gaining someone else. 2022 i hope is better and the worst is over, the best thing I think one can prepare for is the next day and if you prepare for the next day you already are doing better than what you were doing the previous day or even the previous hour, planning an entire year based on a hunch is something i would never advise, not because of the fact that i have never done this, but by the fact that 2021 made me realise life is to fragile to be the way we are, we should be more elastic rigidity anywhere in any part of life for whatsoever reason will only cause problems so one should always be flexible enough and not take everyhting so personally. So my 2022 is just based upon planning the next day and seeing where it leads me.

Did I achieve my goals, what went well during that timeframe and what could have gone better. What did I learn from that. Often times I feel like I learn every day. Also, I keep a list of achievements throughout the year.

Found your post interesting to read. I cant wait to see your post soon. Good Luck with the upcoming update. This article is really very interesting and effective.

Hey Nim, My co-founder (@dafnihnd) and I have an annual ritual of reflecting and documenting our learnings. We also wrote about our 2021 here: https://flatmatefounders.substac... :) In case you want to join this reflection exercise in a guided way, we're doing this together under the hashtag #GrowInPublic on Twitter, check our launch tweet: https://twitter.com/tea_ess/stat... Either way, hope you have a reflective rest of the year and a great start to the new one!

I usually ask myself two questions. (1) How did we do compared to our targets? (2) How did I feel doing the work this year? If we meet all of our numbers but it doesn't feel good, then we know that next years goals should focus on culture. If we feel great but aren't succeeding then we have to wonder if we're working on the right things.

I'm a huge a fan of reflection, and try to make it part of a process rather than look at it at the end of the year. Pretty much because I find it difficult to reflect on a whole year in one go. I try to do it on a daily basis and then I find it much easier to look back at those at the end of a month, quarter and year. I know some people journal or blog, or use notion. Whatever really works. I personally find it really hard to find the time for long form content (consistently) so I built a little simple app to help to facilitate small structured daily reflections.

I work on OKR software that helps people set goals. It's suitable for personal, team and company goals, especially if you want to align teams to the same, ultimate goal for the year. We are a very small SaaS company and work hard to help our users. Have a look and see what you think. https://reclaro.com/

Joey Banks shared a great Notion template on Twitter to help reflect on 2021 (here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/joeyabanks/s...). To set goals for 2022, I also am using Notion to break my goals down into projects and tasks to make them measurable as well as actionable.
