YGT 471: 26 Reflective Questions to Close Out Q1 of 2026

Mentioned in this episode: What are three things that went well for you this quarter? What are you most proud of from the past three months? What did you complete or move forward that felt meaningful? What surprised you about how the quarter unfolded? What didn’t go the way you expected—and what did you learn from it? When you think about the goals you set at the beginning of the year, where have you made the most progress? Where have you stalled? Why are you stalled? Which goals still feel energizing and relevant? Are there goals that now feel less important or out of alignment with what you need? What activities gave you energy this quarter? What drained your energy the most? When did you feel most focused or in flow? When did you feel overwhelmed or stretched too thin? What systems, routines, or practices supported your progress? What tools or structures didn’t work as well as you hoped? Where did you overcommit? What helped you stay organized or grounded? What did this quarter teach you about how you work best? What did you learn about your priorities? What is one insight you want to carry forward into the next quarter? What would you like the next quarter to feel like? What do you want to do more of in the next three months? What do you want to do less of? What is one small adjustment you can make moving forward? If the next quarter were to go really well, what would be different?
