Retrospective Goals
Most of us are doing okay in many aspects of life, more or less. We may not be constantly killing it, but we’re doing alright, for fallible, insecure humans.
The problem is, we don’t see it, or at least not fully.
We set standards or goals for ourselves, and when we fall even the slightest bit short, we beat ourselves up, or allow others to rough us up a bit, and we fail to see what was actually accomplished, which is often significant.
That’s why in 2024, I’m implementing the concept of Retrospective Goals. Simply put, I will look back at what I actually did this year, and simply claim that that’s what I MEANT to do.
For instance, 2023 was a stellar year for me. My Retrospective Goals were to eat a borderline irresponsible amount of pie, try to install an air vent cover before giving up for 5 weeks, and cry while on the treadmill because I ate too much pie and have no appreciable home repair skills.
Nailed it!
Here’s to a successful 2024!
