009: Looking back for your year ahead

“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.
