Heard of term from [[Mike Schmitz]] Could be used as inspiration for [[My Alignment Philosophy]] or periodic workflows ## Process - **Review my LifeTheme and personal core values (30m)** - These are the filters I use for every decision I make. If I’m considering something and I don’t see how it connects to either my LifeTheme or my core values, it’s an automatic “No.” But every 90 days, I revisit it to make sure it still resonates and give myself permission to edit and make changes if needed. - **Review my journal entries (60m)** - I review my journal entries, my gratitude, entries, and my wins from the past 90 days, as well as the charts from the Daily Questions (I did a YouTube video about this [here](https://click.convertkit-mail.com/8ku0n9703zaoh070rl5hkhk9q4599c3/dpheh0h0gelvv8am/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0zRXYwRS01dTVXSQ==) if you’re interested in learning more). This helps me recall some of the significant things that happened and helps me see general trends in my thinking. I add entries to my Daily Notes with tags, and I use custom queries to review them. - **Review my ideal future (30m)** - I have a description of my ideal future that I revisit to make sure that the details are still exciting to me. I also have a eulogy note that I wrote about the type of legacy I want to leave. Looking at these notes during my Personal Retreat helps give me context for the decisions I’ll be making and helps me stay in alignment with my long-term vision. - **Fill out the Wheel of Life (60m)** - The wheel of life is an exercise where you rate your current happiness in the different areas of your life on a scale from 1-10. When you view the results visually, it gives you a polar area chart that is always enlightening. To do this in Obsidian, I use the [Obsidian Charts](https://click.convertkit-mail.com/8ku0n9703zaoh070rl5hkhk9q4599c3/e0hph7h0g78664b8/aHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL3BoaWJyMC9vYnNpZGlhbi1jaGFydHM=) plugin and add a few bullets for each area for the score that I gave. Once I’m done, I always pick the lowest area to address in the next 90 days. - **Retrospective, Part 1 (60m)** - The first part of the Retrospective is reflecting on the last quarter and identifying what went well, what I accomplished, and what could have gone better. - **Retrospective, Part 2 (120m)** - After a break, I come back and spend a couple of hours thinking about three key questions: _what should I start doing_, _what should I stop doing_, and _what should I keep doing_? This is where the magic happens — _IF_ you stay on these questions long enough. - **Setting my Intentions/Goals (60m)** - I condense everything I’ve written so far into 1 or 2 intentions or goals for the next 90 days. Once I have these, I break them down into weekly habits that will move the needle for the outcomes I want to create and make success inevitable. - **Review/Revise My Perfect Week (60m)** - I keep a rough time block plan for what my ideal looks like. My weekly plan never follows this perfectly, but the closer I can get to this, the happier I am.
