27 Questions To Reflect On 2023 & Plan For 2024

As we close out the year, one of the things I've found incredibly useful in my own life and with my private clients is reflecting on the year that's been and planning for the next 12 months to ensure we're ready to hit the ground running come January 1.

Here are the 27 questions we use.

I thought they might be helpful for you too as you are reflecting on 2023 and planning for next year.

The 27 Questions:

1. What were my greatest achievements in 2023?

2. What did I learn?

3. Where did I grow?

4. What am I appreciative of?

5. What goals did I fall short on?

6. Where did my standards drop?

7. Why?

8. What will I do differently next year to rectify that?

9. What is my vision? Has it shifted? What does an extraordinary life/business look like? (3-50 years)

10. What does a remarkable 2024 look like? What are the 12 month objectives I have for the year? (objective wherever possible vs subjective so that you can measure progress throughout the year)

11. If I achieve those 12 month objectives am I on track to achieving my long term vision? (if so, continue. If not, update either your vision or 12 month objectives until the answer is yes)

12. How will I know I've gotten there? (re-confirm the objective nature of your goals)

13. What is my theme for 2024 that’s aligned to my longer term vision? (1-3 word theme)

14. What are the key areas I will step up to another level in?

15. What would I really love to work towards mastering this year?

16. Who do I want to spend more time with?

17. What am I going to stop doing?

18. What relationships are no longer aligned with who I'm becoming?

19. How committed am I to experiencing what's most important to me?

20. What would need to be in place in order to increase my level of commitment?

21. What values, beliefs and identities must be upgraded to be aligned to my next level of excellence?

22. What are my 90 day projects that I’ll focus on and execute in the first 90 days of 2024? (usually 3-5 key projects)

23. What actions are required with each of these 90 day projects that will put me on track to achieving my 12 month objectives?

24. How will I celebrate my wins in 2024?

25. Now that I’m all set, what am I most excited about for 2024?

26. What am I most concerned about?

27. Knowing that, how will I adapt when things aren't working? What can I say or do or build in as additional beliefs / values that will ensure I stay on track even during the challenging moments?

Trust these help.

Have a great final couple of weeks of the year and here's to making 2024 your best year yet!
