If there is one thing I really hate it is to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. I really want to learn from the past so I don’t have to keep repeating the bad parts of it. Reflection is not a waste of time it forces us to make changes. John Maxwell as always has some great advice:
“First, I pull out my calendar and make a list of significant events, tasks, meetings, decisions, and accomplishments. I spend time reflecting, in order to remember and write down every experience that stood out in the past year. I write down both positive and negative experiences, because I know that I learn more from losing than from winning.”
