Retrospection

Coming from the world of Agile which has a simple principle of Plan -> Act -> Retrospect led me to think whether the same can be applied to our life. When we apply it in our life theres already another word called Introspection. To introspect is to look inwards and to analyze our thoughts and actions. And Retrospective is to look inwards again and to analyze our goals and actions to the work we have done or need to take upon. So per say both mean the same though albeit differently. One is more personal while the other is more professional.

Hence i have coined a term Retrospection. In order to do a retrospection the guiding questions are:

  1. What is working? (select a max of 3 items in your personal or professional life)
  2. What is Not working? (select a max of 3 items in your personal or professional life)
  3. What would happen if you continue to work the way you are working?
  4. Which one of the 3 items which dont work you would want to change?
  5. If you do change whats the impact?
  6. Do you believe in the impact for that change?
  7. If YES then what steps should you take by when to see the 1st step of your impact?
  8. If NO then do steps 1-6 till you get step 7! :)
