20 Year-End Questions to Ask Yourself

For the last several years, I have filled out a survey of the same set of questions in my journal at the end of each year. I love looking back and selecting the highlights, lessons, and heart-warming moments, and archiving them for my own personal records. It's also fun to look back and see what overarching events defined previous years for me!

I thought I would share those questions for anyone who might also want to start a similar tradition of their own!

I hope that you have a happy, peaceful start to the new year!!

1 What is something you did this year that you think you will remember for the rest of your life?

2 What is something you've accomplished this year that you are proud of?

3 What was the nicest thing someone did for you this year?

4 What was the most challenging aspect of this year for you?

5 Where was your favorite place this year? Why?

6 If you could change one thing that happened this year, what would it be?

7 What are thREE WAYS THAT YOU HELPED PEOPLE THIS YEAR?

8 What are the three most important things you learned this year?

9 What is something that was hard for you at the start of the year but is easy now?

10 In what area do you feel you've made your biggest improvements?

11 What is your favorite time of the day? Why?

12 What is something you taught someone else this year?

13 Of the books you read this year, which was your favorite? Why?

14 What was your favorite creative endeavor of the year?

15 What person has made the biggest impact in your life this year? Why?

16 What is something that would have made this year better?

17 What are six adjectives that best describe this year?

18 Knowing what you know now, if you could write a letter to yourself that would travel back in time so that you would receive it at the start of the year, what advice would you give your younger self?

19 What's something surprising that you never thought would happen?

20 What was the overarching theme for this year? What is your theme for next year?
