At the end of the TimeWise “Slow Down to Speed Up” workshop, Steve mentioned that two ounces of reflection is often better than 2 tons of doing. When I think of year in review, I think of all the categories of personhood (social, emotional, spiritual, financial, etc.) and how long it takes to think through each category. You may have seen a year in review structured this way. It seems reflection operates on different principals than I am used to, and one of those is potency. Think about food coloring, vanilla extract, or a laser pointer. The Q&A reflection of the first TimeWise workshop is only thirty minutes, but the connections which emerge from that short time of meditation on 2025 is really incredible. In fact, having 40+ days of 2026 to pair with the reflection helps the patterns emerge even more. Allow yourself the gift of a couple ounces of reflection this weekend.
