 Oftentimes, the last week of the year is used to reflect. This is a valuable practice that doesn't have to wait a year. Some reflect on what they've done each day, each week or each month. Some journal. Others discuss reflections with their leadership team. Reflection can be helpful to analyze, prioritize, and act. It can also give you time to be grateful. Martin Seligman's book, Flourish, about the science of positive psychology, offers a contrast on speed that may be helpful. Stored knowledge is recalled at high speeds. Slowing your thinking down allows for executive functions, such as planning and checking for errors. This gives you time to think in a more nuanced way. Both time and reflection are at your disposal in the new year. Lead well this week.
