Reflection plays a crucial role in project management, and we can apply the same concept to our productivity. The reflection should focus on specific achievements and challenges encountered to assess progress and identify areas for development. Through this process, you might notice patterns or themes in your experiences, which can offer a deeper understanding of your strengths and areas that need attention. To guide your reflection, consider the following questions:
- (Review the Plan) Reiterate our values and goals, and ensure that the actions and plans are aligned with the objectives.ives.
- (What works well) What are your achievements and successes? What strategies have worked well for you? How did your most productive days differ from the less productive ones? Can you identify the factors that contributed to your success?
- (What didn’t) What challenges have you encountered over the past month? What steps can you take to overcome them? Recall a recent obstacle you faced. How did you address it, and what could you do differently in the future?Have you noticed any recurring challenges?
- (What to improve) How can you incorporate the lessons from your successes and setbacks into your plans?
- (Make a plan) Set a new goal for the upcoming month based on your reflections. What makes this quarter’s OKR (Objective and key results) and what’s this month’s goals? Define goal to be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound)
