The Annual Review template by Leo has changed my life (legitimately). For the first time in my life, I've been able to categorize and prioritize goals that I've always wanted to pursue and been held accountable every year (it is an annual review, after) for the work I've put into my goals. The Annual Review forces me to honestly document and reflect on my last year to help me look forward to the next with questions like "A disappointment was..." and "I wish I kept doing..." Additional benefits: (1) documenting impactful or heartwarming memories that guide goals for next year, (2) working from a template with friends means you can directly share/compare notes on subjects, and (3) breaking down progress toward goals into bite-sized chunks.
