annual review template

Each year, I aim to complete an annual review. I’ve published the last several on this site.

The template for these reviews continues to evolve, but currently blends Rohan Rajiv’s ten question annual review from 2018 and 2019, with James Clear’s Annual Review.

This template is designed to make it easier for others to complete their own Annual Review (as well as serve as a repository for me to quickly bootstrap a new review).

Past Reviews can be found here:

• 2019
• 2018
