Friday Reflections

Happy Friday

Before you dance away from your work for the weekend, take some time to reflect on what you accomplished.

Reflecting on the week allows you to acknowledge your victories and the things you have learned. It will also prepare you to start next week off on the right foot.

Here are some questions to guide your reflection: Friday Reflection Prompts

What major goals or deliverables did you complete?

Take a look back at the concrete deliverables or tasks you finished this week. Sometimes looking back on the things you've done is much more inspiring than looking at the things you still have to accomplish.

What conversations did you have?

Did you have any meaningful or important conversations with coworkers or clients? What did you learn from those conversations? How can that information help you in the future?

Did you find out anything new about yourself or others?

Note anything you've learned about other people and yourself — about the way you and others work, your communication preferences, etc.

What have you learned?

What else have you learned this week that you didn't know last week?

Have you worked on any skills?

Did any of the experiences this week help you develop some of your skills? Which ones? How?

Did you take on any additional responsibilities?

What new roles have you taken on?

What did you put off for next week?

Which tasks are still incomplete? Why did you put them off? How can you make sure they get done next week? Can you incorporate time management strategies to make sure you don't put it off again?

What do you wish you had done this week?

If you could do this week over again, how would it be different? Can you apply that to next week to ensure a better week?

What is one thing you should do next week that would make the week successful?

Related to the question above: what should you do next week?
