How to Do an Annual Review That Genuinel...

The year-end review most of us attempt starts with goals and ends in self-criticism. Tiago Forte has run one every year since 2008, and he has come to treat goal setting as the last step of the process, almost an afterthought.

Tiago is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Building a Second Brain and The PARA Method, which have reached more than half a million readers in over twenty-five languages, and his new book is Life in Perspective: The Art and Power of the Annual Life Review. Through Forte Labs, he has taught this practice to more than ten thousand students in over seventy countries. He is also, by his own description, someone who resists self-reflection and does it anyway, which makes him unusually useful on the question of how to start.

• The question Tiago offers the person whose year contained something they would rather not open, and the year his entire review became a single long walk
• Why nearly everyone reaches for their work life first, and where he finds the actual source of most people's dissatisfaction
• A daily capture habit with a name, and his sharp reason your AI-generated notes are the wrong raw material for it
• Three signals he waits for in his own body before committing to anything big, and what he does when only two show up
• Four principles built to stop a life review from turning into the performance review you dread

If you have ever closed out a year feeling like it went by without you, this is a conversation about getting some of it back.
