A Week on Week Analysis Helps Me Stay Aligned With My Long Term Vision: What Do You Do to Self — Align?
#1 — Reflecting on the Previous Week and Planning for the One Ahead
It is my weekly ritual that I follow every weekend.
I sit with my Ipad and jot down the goals I wish to accomplish in the week ahead.
I also reflect on the triumphs of the previous week.
Reflecting on my victories eggs me on to keep my momentum going.
I reflect on the lessons from the situations where I goofed up.
I re-write my life’s vision every week. See how my core values align with my long-term vision. How my weekly actions are adding up to it.
It should all fit in together neatly like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
What is it that I need to tweak to keep myself aligned?
If my actions deviated from my core vision — how can I fix those?

The set of people you are being directed towards. you will keep running into them.
Definitely not a coincidence.
So part of the divine plan!
