Reflecting on your whole life each year

After reviewing the highlights of 2006 I did an activity where I cut a metaphorical pie up into slices that represented different parts of my life.  For each slice I identified how I was doing in that area and which slices of my life needed some innovating.  Some pie slices I identified were:

Career
Academics

Friends

Love

Health

Financial

Family

Social

Spirit

Hobbies

Home

 

For each of these slices or parts of my life I was able to give it a rating for how I did in 2006 and also identified which slices I wanted to make my focus for innovation for 2007.  I included 2 new slices this year, hobbies and home, because I identified them as particularly important areas for personal innovation.  My home is too cluttered and I’ve neglected some favorite hobbies and didn’t start many new ones in 2006.  I’d like to innovate these areas of my life in 2007.  Maybe get someone to help organize my home and start some new hobbies, like making electronic music!
