Join Rob on the first Monday of 2021 as he discusses the Past Year Review exercise outlined by Tim Ferriss - and what he does to take that exercise to the next level.  All details of Rob's discussion today are available for your review within the show notes.Forget New Year's Resolutions and Conduct a 'Past Year Review' Insteadhttps://tim.blog/2018/12/28/past-year-review/Forget New Year's Resolutions and Conduct a 'Past Year Review' InsteadGrab a notepad and create two columns: POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. Go through your calendar from the last year, looking at every week. For each week, jot down on the pad any people or activities or commitments that triggered peak positive or negative emotions for that month. Put them in their respective columns.Once you’ve gone through the past year, look at your notepad list and ask, “What 20% of each column produced the most reliable or powerful peaks?”Based on the answers, take your “positive” leaders and schedule more of them in the new year. Get them on the calendar now! Book things with friends and prepay for activities/events/commitments that you know work. It’s not real until it’s in the calendar. That’s step one. Step two is to take your “negative” leaders, put “NOT-TO-DO LIST” at the top, and put them somewhere you can see them each morning for the first few weeks of 2019. These are the people and things you *know* make you miserable, so don’t put them on your calendar out of obligation, guilt, FOMO, or other nonsense.That’s it! If you try it, let me know how it goes. And just remember: it’s not enough to remove the negative. That simply creates a void. Get the positive things on the calendar ASAP...So...I take Tim's Past Year Review to another level.Rob's Past Year Review 3.0 (Performed in 2018 and 2019 - 2020, or 3.0 is underway)Columns inserted into an Excel SpreadsheetAdditional columns to add for filtering each line item by:Positive EmotionNegative EmotionOrder of entry (time frame when it was entered during the 2019 calendar year)Any action resulting from that emotionHow it’s rated on a scale of 1-5 regarding joy / non-joy For assembling the list of what to schedule in the calendar year and how to assemble your NOT to-do listCategory of line itemHow it corresponds with my project tracking softwareFinancial, Personal, Spiritual, Work/Career, etcCategorization and labeling of the Past Year Review in Excel makes for easy prioritization of a longer listEasy to refine lists and make actionable tasks that matter instead of resolutions that never get followed through withNext Year's NOT-To-Do List GeneratedRecurring Task Generated titled:  "Schedule 'Positives' for Next Calendar Year"This recurring weekly task has the Excel spreadsheet attached for ease of referenceWill review the Past Year End Positives during Weekly Review in Best Self JournalAction item based on the past year review that will hopefully result in even greater positives for the following yearHave a Question for Rob?Send your questions to allaroundgrowth@gmail.comJoin the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth  CLICK HERE TO RATE ASupport the showBecome a Patreon of the Show! ➡️ patreon.com/allaroundgrowth
