Reflecting on 2021 and Planning for 2022

I have an annual ritual at the new year that involves coffee, pastry, and reflection. I take myself to a cozy spot, usually a quiet cafe, sit down with pen and paper, and think back about what I learned and accomplished over the past year. I "book" a second meeting with myself a week or so later to reflect on and plan for the year ahead.

I've tried a variety of different prompts and formats to guide my reflections, but the one I come back to year after year is a simple set of questions shared with me by my friend and mentor, Gall Ginder of the Claros Group.
