Use ChatGPT for ideas for a yearly reflection

I have my own set of questions and prompts that I ask myself at the end of every year to look back. Those include:

  • What happened: A quick overview of the most important events in my personal life
  • Accomplishments
  • Disappointments
  • Discoveries
  • Game Changers
  • What I’ve let go of
  • Things I’m thankful for
  • What I’ve learnt
  • People: Who mattered most in my life? How, in what way?
  • What themes keep coming up in the answers above?
  • Books that I’ve read

One can, of course, also ask ChatGPT for reflective questions, and I did.
