Were you able to answer yes to most of these questions?
Perfect! Keep up the good work!
Were you able to answer yes only to some of them?
Perfect! 2023 is here!
You can include the ones you weren't able to say yes to in your New Year resolutions.
Remember, failures of responsibility are usually failures of attention, failures of deciding and sticking to principles, failures of system, or failures of keeping to a workable system.
How can you be more attentive, improve your systems, decide and stick to your principles, and be more rigorous in following your systems in the year ahead?
I will leave you to think about that.
Happy New Year! And if some area needs it, Happy New You!
