Summary

We tend to take on one of 3 modes as we head into the end of the year:

Rush To The Finish | Goal Striving Mode
Check Out | Vacation Mode
Reflect, Integrate & Assess | Review & Plan Mode

That last one is my approach. I love to use these final weeks to understand what happened over the last 12 months, in all parts of life, consider what went well and why, where I stumbled and why, and how I can learn and integrate all of it into setting up the year to come to rise higher.

And, I thought I’d walk you through my process - it’s a very different take based on a model I developed a number of years ago around the key elements of living a good life I call the Good Life Buckets. Super excited to share this powerful process with you in today’s episode.

0:00.0	So, I got a bit of a loaded question for you, but also an important question.
0:08.6	Actually, it's kind of three questions in one.
0:12.2	The first, how you feeling about the way this year went?
0:16.8	The second one is, what was your role or part in how the year went?
0:24.6	And the third piece is, is there anything about it that you would love to see unfold differently
0:32.5	in the year to come?
0:34.8	So we tend to take one of three modes as we head into the end of any given year.
0:40.8	Rush to the finish, you know, sort of goal striving mode.
0:44.4	Let's put our heads down.
0:45.4	We had big things we wanted to do in the beginning of the year.
0:48.7	Boxes to check, you know, like things do accomplish.
0:51.4	So I'm just going to rush to the finish and try and check as many boxes as humanly
0:54.9	possible so I can sneak in as much accomplishment as I can before we turn the page.
1:00.4	That's mode number one.
1:03.2	Then there's mode number two, the checkout mode.
1:06.6	And that's why you're like, you know what, this has been a year, whatever happened, good,
1:12.4	bad, indifferent.
1:14.4	I'm done.
1:15.4	I'm cooked.
1:16.4	I am stepping away, taking a break and going on vacation.
1:21.0	End mode, equally valid.
