8 Steps You Can Use To Shape 2022 For Success
What you accomplish in the new year will depend on the steps you take now
Regardless of what anyone else is doing, you can decide how 2022 and beyond will be for you. You can determine what you want to see in your life, where you want to be, and how you want to get there.
Review where you are
The first step to a great 2022 is to understand where you are — that is, your current state. This involves an honest examination of all that you did in the previous year, personally and professionally.
As the year comes to an end, taking stock of your life in all ramifications is essential if you want to identify what worked and what didn’t do. When you review the past, you are in a better position to see what needs to be improved and what to eliminate.
Bestselling author of Atomic Habits, James Clear, says he often reviews each year by asking himself 3 important questions:
- What went well this year?
- What didn’t go so well this year?
- What am I working toward?
Waltzing into a new year without a clear idea of where you are and whether you’re going forward or backward is a recipe for having more of the same results.
