How to Pull Off a Personal Annual Review
Briefly

"Everyone! It's almost the end of the year. It's nearing that time when we arbitrarily decide we're going to turn over a new leaf; start a new great habit. But so many of us embark on this process without once considering our baseline - where we're starting from. I want to introduce you to a process I've used the past couple of years, one I really like. It's such a pain-free process,"
"In 2020, I joined an online community called Ness Labs. The brainchild of Anne-Laure Le Cunff, Ness Labs is a community of over 50,000 global learners, people who call themselves knowledge workers. I was a member for a year and am about to re-up my subscription. The beauty of Ness Labs, for me, was its internationality. One tiny example: In a weekly Pomodoro meeting created by a fellow Ness Labs member, we had members from Asia, from Europe, from the United States."
Year-end resolutions often begin without assessing a personal baseline, leaving habit changes misaligned with current routines. A simple, pain-free process can reveal what truly matters and clarify starting points before committing to new habits. Membership in the online Ness Labs community began in 2020 and includes over 50,000 global learners who identify as knowledge workers. International weekly Pomodoro meetings connected members from Asia, Europe, and the United States, enabling cross-cultural learning and increased productivity. Those collaborative sessions supported sustained creative work, including producing a solid draft of a forthcoming novel during focused meetings.
