You are the navigator of your ship. At least every 3 months, step back and review the voyage you are now on. Also consider plans for new destinations and new venues.

The Smart Review Questions below focus on aspirations, holidays, life lessons, life purpose – on what is most important to you.

Ideally, give yourself a day every 3 months for life planning. Really put your life under a microscope and do an in-depth review. Then get out the telescope to raise your sights and shoot for a new star.

Take a minute right now and mark in your calendar the same day every 3 months to do this important review.
