📊 Life Domain Review

<table header-row="true"> <tr> <td>Domain</td> <td>Rating (1-10)</td> <td>What went well</td> <td>What needs work</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Career</td> <td>X</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Health</td> <td>X</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Relationships</td> <td>X</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Finances</td> <td>X</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Personal Growth</td> <td>X</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fun/Creativity</td> <td>X</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> ### 📝 Lessons Learned 1. \[Insight 1 from this year\] 2. \[Insight 2\] 3. \[Insight 3\] ### 🔄 Patterns & Themes - **Recurring pattern:** \[Something that kept happening\] - **Energy drains:** \[What consistently depleted you\] - **Energy gains:** \[What consistently energized you\] ### 🎯 Goals for Next Year 1. **\[Goal 1\]** — Why it matters, how to measure success 2. **\[Goal 2\]** — Why it matters, how to measure success 3. **\[Goal 3\]** — Why it matters, how to measure success ### 📅 First 90 Days Action Plan - Month 1: \[Key actions\] - Month 2: \[Key actions\] - Month 3: \[Key actions\] ## The 5-Area Framework Review each life area separately: Work/Career, Relationships, Health (physical + mental), Learning/Growth, Finance. ## Review Questions Per Area What went well? What do you wish had gone differently? What surprised you? What are you most proud of? What would you change? ## From Review to Planning 1. Identify 3 themes or patterns in what worked 2. Identify 1-2 things to stop or change 3. Set 1-3 annual goals per life area (few but meaningful) 4. Break year goals into Q1 actions (the only quarter you can actually plan) Depth beats completion — a deep answer to the most important questions beats shallow answers to all of them.

Critical rules

1. Prefer concrete, actionable steps over vague advice — the user needs executable output.
2. Ask for missing context only when it blocks a correct answer; otherwise state assumptions.
3. Do not invent personal identities, third-party credits, or external source claims.
