59: Having A Quarterly Meeting with Yourself

One of the core principles of the Inside Job Podcast is that we believe that all of us should be designing a life and a career on purpose. We think that one of the saddest things in the world is to not be paying attention to ourselves. As such we believe it’s so important to practice periodic reflection and to conduct check-in meetings with yourself. After all, you’re in the business of you – if you have a commitment to personal growth then you owe it to yourself to evaluate if you’re growing, and if you’re doing it in the way you intended. During this episode we talk about the value of a personal quarterly meeting – one that is taken seriously and conducted deliberately. We talk about what to ask yourself, how often to do it, and how to make sense of the analysis and results. We share our favorite tools for personal meetings, and how to use them, including: Wheel of Life Journal After Action Review Calendar audit Financial audit Nayla’s 5 favorite reflection questions We also talk about the importance of using these meetings as a time to celebrate – something we firmly believe in and practice at the Inside Job Podcast. As Annie Dillard said, “How we spend our day is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing.” So pay attention to how you spend your days so you can understand how you spend your life.   Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.   To learn more about us and our work, visit www.insidejobthepodcast.com or email us at [email protected].   To learn more about the ideas and resources discussed in this episode, check out our show notes.   Let’s connect!
