    Every month I review my goals and reflect on my progress, practices, and mindset. Looking back, I note that in 7 of the 9 last months, I was pretty disappointed in myself. There were always lots that wasn't going to plan. Everything always took longer to finish than I’d expected.

        But I also do a quarterly review. I ask myself ~the same questions as in the monthly reflections, but over a longer time horizon. Looking back now, I see that in 3 of the 4 last quarters, I’d been thrilled (and surprised) by how much I’d achieved and how well things were going!

        One common pattern each quarter: “3 months ago, I wasn’t even thinking about XYZ, but now I’ve done XYZ++!” It’s odd that my quarterly reflections are so consistently bright, while my monthly reflections are so consistently glum. I’m not sure how to explain this contradiction!

        Many rightly asked: so why do the monthly reviews? Unfortunately, they also yield useful insights! e.g. I might reflect that I'm spending too much time on "duty," and I'll plan some changes to try in the next month. I think it's the evaluative, KPI-ish stance I need to drop.

        I would love to adopt a similar review system! Do you mind sharing more about the method or systems you have in place to facilitate the review?

        roughly: 1. What did I do this [period]? 2. How did I live this [period]? What did it feel like to be me? (socially, emotionally, intellectually, creatively) 3. Looking at what I intended to do and the way I intended to be, what's the diff? 4. What do I want to try?

        What system do you use to log your activities so that you can review against your goals? I’ve done something similar where I kept a word doc of my accomplishments at work so I could reflect on them and later reference them during a performance review

        Daily journal notes, which get summarized in weekly plan notes, likewise in monthly, quarterly, yearly.

        @kristijan_ivanc really interesting. Worth keeping in mind so we can buffer any monthly disappointment

        I do weekly/monthly reviews and see the same trend. I would say, in my case, shorter periods hurts retrospective abilities. Weeks are too short and the focus is in the now, and now varies a lot. Monthly gives me the opportunity to reflect deeper.

        My explanation to myself (borrowing Taleb's idea of the Noise Bottleneck): Like the Market, if you check it every day you are going to see/feel the ups and downs, but if you check on it in larger time spans you'll see the trends...
