Episode notes
Conduct An Energy Audit
- Do an energy audit across work, personal life and family listing what energized you, what drained you, what gave you flow, and what you avoided.
- Compare notes with a partner to surface patterns and external observations about each other's energy.
Interview Yourself With A GPT
- Create an interviewing GPT to prompt and dig deeper when you're unpacking problems or reflecting alone.
- Use that GPT to simulate a curious interviewer so you don't need a human prompt partner every time.
Reconstruct The Year From Your Calendar
- Review your calendar week-by-week to capture important events and overcome recency bias when reflecting on the year.
- Use calendar notes to reconstruct midsession events you might otherwise forget.
