Seven Questions That Will Change Your Life

Self-reflection is the name of the game. When you look back at your week, are you happy with what you’ve done? Was it productive or wasteful?

Alex Shalman asks himself seven questions each week to keep him on track. Whether or not you think all seven are necessary, looking back at your actions objectively will work in your favor. Try them out now:

1. What will I try to improve on next week?

2. What was I most proud of this week?

3. What was my biggest accomplishment this week?

4. What have I done to get closer to my life goals this week?

5. What was hard for me this week, and why?

6. What was my biggest waste of time this week?

7. What did I do this week that made me ashamed?

If this becomes a regular thing, it could well change your life. If you’re a practicing GTDer, fit some of these questions in your weekly review.

This is an essential monday and friday list.

Thanks for posting this one,

Great post. Lifehack often contains posts that focus on discipline but rarely discusses this topic. One of my college professors told me this: “Each experience in life is like a tea bag. Just as water absorbs more and more flavor from the tea bag the longer it’s in there, we can continually grow from experiences in a way that will give our lives maximum flavor.”

Discipline and Reflection = the two greatest tools for personal growth

Keep up the good work!

This is a nice short way to make sure you stay focused and are able to track your results. I’m going to give this a try.
