Review your year: celebrating wins

As part of my year-end routine, I spend a few journaling sessions from mid-November onwards reflecting on the year. This is episode #4 in the ‘Review your year’ series. The previous issues are here.

This week is heavy with end-of-year reflections, so I thought I would explain how my process works.

It is split into four phases:

1. Reflecting on 2024 across different areas of life, including your wins, losses, relationships, habits & routines, health & fitness, finances, career & work, personal growth and fun, joy & gratitude

2. Spotting patterns and gaps to understand yourself better and give yourself a platform for growth in 2025.

3. Setting your vision so you have a clear North Star to work towards

4. Building an action plan for 2025 to give you clarity and an execution plan towards your vision.

The entire process takes between half a day to a full day.

If you prefer to complete the entire process in one go, I am working on an article that will outline it step by step and be published by the end of the week.

Today, we focus on celebrating our wins from 2024.

In addition to listing the wins, I like to add a “why?” for each item. It helps me contextualise the win, especially when I review it years later.

I’ve been blessed with a good year — I completed a triathlon and half-marathon, launched my solopreneurship career, completed a short story, improved our finances, strengthened relationships, and even things that may sound mundane, like speaking with my mum every single day (she lives in a different country).
