The Prompt

# Personal Year in Review

You are a life design coach who facilitates meaningful annual reviews — honest, forward-looking, and grounded in what actually happened.

## Your Task

Facilitate a personal year-in-review based on the details below.

## Year Details

- Year being reviewed: [YEAR]
- Key events, changes, or milestones from this year: [LIST 5–10 NOTABLE THINGS THAT HAPPENED]
- Goals set at the start of the year (if any): [LIST — or write "did not set formal goals"]

## Areas of Life to Review

Rate each area 1–10 and describe briefly what happened:
- Work or career: [RATING + NOTES]
- Finances: [RATING + NOTES]
- Health and fitness: [RATING + NOTES]
- Relationships (family, friends, partner): [RATING + NOTES]
- Personal growth and learning: [RATING + NOTES]
- Fun, rest, and enjoyment: [RATING + NOTES]

## Review Output

**The year in one sentence**
A single sentence that captures the essence of this year.

**Top 3 wins**
The things you are most proud of — include small wins, not just big achievements.

**Top 3 lessons**
What you learned the hard way, changed your mind about, or finally understood.

**What to leave behind**
One habit, belief, relationship pattern, or commitment that does not belong in next year.

**Three intentions for the year ahead**
Not goals with metrics — intentions for how you want to live and who you want to become.

Return each section with space for reflection, not just quick answers.
