A Guide to Structured Reflection [HD BizBlog- The Blog: Productivity in Context]
I have compiled this list of questions from a variety of resources that I have used to turn my Weekly Review into a tool for personal and professional development.
Consider jotting down the answers to these questions on a weekly basis, then look over the answers at the end of the month. Do you think you may be able to spot trends in your thinking and the execution of your To-do’s? You may be surprised.
What do you feel so far?
- Excited? If not, why not? What can you do about it?
- Confident? If not, why not? What can you do about it?
- In control of your success? If not, why not? What can you do about it?
- What was your biggest accomplishment?
What has bothered you so far?
- With whom have you failed to connect? Why?
- Of the meetings you attended, which was the most troubling? Why?
- Of all that you have seen or heard, what has disturbed you the most? Why?
- What was hard for you this week? Why?
What has gone well or poorly?
- Which interactions would you handle differently if you could?
- Which things exceeded your expectations?
- Which of your decisions turned out particularly well?
- Which of your decisions turned out not so well?
What were the missed opportunities?
- What can you improve on next week?
- What was the biggest waste of time?

I have also created a worksheet of these questions, for you to download and print. For those of you that like worksheets. (.txt version) (PDF Version) Please feel free to share your thoughts, and the worksheets, no copyright or anything.
