009: Looking back for your year ahead

Season #1

“So this is when looking back, checking that rearview mirror, can be helpful. When you do this, you get to learn what you absolutely hated about the last year, you get to learn what you've loved. You can see what went well and acknowledge what didn't go so well. And all of this is useful in planning for the year to come. You get to take what you love and what went well, and think about how to build on those things.” - Elise Enriquez

Welcome to the Productivity Breakthrough Podcast with Elise Enriquez. Here’s a question, how good are you at looking back? In this episode, we talk about moving forward with intention and what to do when planning for the future looks like making sense of a dark void. 

 

[00:01 - 03:39] Do Look Back 

  • We have to keep hindsight in mind when reaching a specific destination. 
  • Sometimes in life, we aren’t as intentional as we should be 

 

[03:40 - 04:57] What To Do When the Future Looks Like a Map With No X

  • Take a moment to think of the things that went well and didn’t go well. The things in your control of the things that you loved and hated in this past year 
  • Make a long list of all the things that drive you crazy and flip each item into solutions

 

[04:58 - 06:37] Question of The Week 

  • What's at least one thing you learned about yourself in this past year that you can use to achieve your goals in 2022?
