The prompt · ChatGPT
Guide me through a review of my past year. The year: [e.g. 2026] Big things that happened: [a few notes, optional] Ask me these, two at a time, and wait for my answers: - My best moments and proudest wins. - What was hard, and what got me through. - What I spent too much and too little time on. - People who mattered most. - What I learned about myself. - What I want to leave behind. Then give me: 1. A one-page review: highlights, challenges, lessons. 2. My 3 biggest wins, said plainly. 3. 3 focus areas for next year, with one first step each. 4. One word or phrase for the year ahead. Warm and honest. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
