Stuff to write about made by hindsight
Plus just a pleasant reflection exercise, tbh
Today, make a list of all 12 months and reflect back on the past year. What things happened each month? What are you most proud of in each month, and from the past year overall? What did you achieve? What lessons did you learn? How did you comfort yourself through rough patches? What did you endure and survive each month of the last year? What brought you joy?
It can be easy to move into the next year without seeing the value in reflecting on the outgoing one, but not only is there surprising and sometimes revelation-cueing stuff in there, but it can also be tremendously ripe for mining writing ideas that only come together in hindsight. Let’s go.
