I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 259.

This is a podcast about making decisions, but it's also about making a life.

If you struggle with decision fatigue, chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes

away from the constant stream of information, and the sometimes delightful, but also distracting

hum of entertainment, while you're in the right place for discerning your next right thing.

If you've been around a while, you know that often the best indicator of your next right

thing was your last right thing.

So we're in the habit of looking back before moving forward.

At the end of our year, I write down a list of what worked and what didn't for the whole

year.

In the same way we had to tip Barbara Roundtaylor for the question, what's saving my life

right now? I give a nod to Anne Bogle for the question, what worked this year?

Now I know she's not the only one to ask it, maybe not even the first one, but it was

her list that inspired my own many years ago.

She shares her list on her blog, Monter Mrs. Darcy, at the end of every year.

So I'll share my list of what worked for me this year, as well as a few tips and resources

for you if you want to make your own list.

For the record, I also share a list of what didn't work, but I put that one in my monthly

letter.

If you want to get that letter on the last day of the month, you can at mlepframen.com slash
