Happy holidays and a yearly review template

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Holidays are the time to take a break, relax and spend time with your family.

December is also the time to reflect on your past year. Give yourself an honest look in the rearview mirror and start your 2023 strong.

Specifically, reflecting on the following:

  • What went well this past year?
  • What could have gone better?
  • Opportunities to improve next year.
  • Memorable events.

I use the following yearly review template; you are welcome to use it too. This yearly review template is now part of my Quarterly Planning Workbook 📔 which you can download completely free.
