2024 in Review

Many people like to look back on the past year as they approach the New Year. Some have already starting posting their reflections from 2024, so now seemed like a good time to make a gather post for these. Other people will wait until December 31 or January 1 before doing theirs.

If you have a theme, resolution, list of goals, etc. from January 2024, then you can use that as your template. Simply go over that and assess how well you met your aim.

You may also choose to look at a list of questions to examine different parts of your past year. Earlier ones appear in printables for 2025 and for any year. Here are some ideas ...

life pie

One of the tasks in The Artist's Way that resonated with me (even tho I've never finished the whole 12 weeks) was the "life pie" (sometimes called a "life wheel"). Basically, you chart out your life in terms of spirituality, exercise, play, work, romance(/adventure), and friends, and mark how fulfilled you feel in each area; closer to the middle means you're unfulfilled, on the outer edge of your chart means you're 100% happy. (In the book, Julia Cameron says you can switch out "romance" for "adventure" if that's more relevant to you.) Here's an example of someone's life pie.

Searching around, I also found someone else's life pie with different slices: parenting, spiritual, personal growth, business/career/studies, finance/wealth, health/fitness, social/friends, family, romance/love, and recreation/fun. This one includes "physical environment" while this one is set up differently (more readable, imho) and includes "diet" and "mindset."

This year, I plan to do a life wheel every month and watch the fluctuations: is an area consistently low? is something that was high suddenly dropping? where do I feel mostly content? Like I said, I like this activity.

I'm curious (and, OK, shamelessly looking for ideas about) what "slices" you would put on your life pie. When I recently did a (related but slightly different) self care activity, the areas that I identified were: creative, enrichment, interpersonal, spiritual, embodiment, career, and rest.

Disclaimer: I don't endorse (or know anything about) any of these sites. I was only sharing examples of life pies/life wheels.

Year End Journal Prompts

[personal profile] flamingsword has posted a list of 10 year-end journal prompts.  These are good if you have a goal about reflecting on the past year.  There are more links to reflections in the 2025 Printables and Year-Neutral Printables.
