Every year-end, I rate my year based on the following 12 measures.
Every year-end, I rate my year based on the following 12 measures.
Reflecting on 2016 & Planning for 2017
- I start with a simple ‘0–10’ rating for each.
- Next — I reflect on how satisfied I am with each of these areas of my life, and write a short summary in a ‘Personal Annual (2016) Report’.
- Then, I write a plan to work on each area in the following year.
I invite you to use this list (if you find it useful) — to measure your satisfaction in the various aspects of life in 2016. And to write a plan for next year.
The 12 Measures
Except for the top 3 items, there is no particular order in this list…
- Health, Fitness & General Well-being
- Marriage / Romantic Relationship
- Family (Children / Parents)
- Social Relationships (Friends)
- Professional Relationships (Colleagues / Business Associates / Network)
- Learning / Personal Growth
- Spiritual (Faith-based Goals)
- Charity (Contribution to People, Causes Beyond Your Immediate Circle of Concern)
- Career / Business
- Personal Brand
- Recreation / Side-projects / Hobbies

Why this list?
It’s a simple and effective way to reflect on life in 2016, and plan ahead — using the new year as a personal milestone.
If you’re keen to chat about goal-setting for 2017; and exchange ideas on how to make it awesome let me know… I may organize a group-coffee for folks who want to discuss.
