CNN's John Sutter talks about the importance of journaling during a personal retreat. He uses obsidian, an app that allows him to track his progress over time and chart trends. His daily questions are designed to help him figure out what he should be doing with his life right now. The 12 week year is meant to create intentional imbalance in your life.

Mike Schmitz is a creative blogger, course creator, YouTuber, and writer who discusses the intersection of productivity, faith, and technology. He cohosts The Focused Podcast with David Sparks, all about mindful productivity and focus as well as the Bookworm podcast with Joe where they discuss their journey summarizing and applying insights from books. Mike also has a course on personal retreats where he discusses the value of taking time to reflect on your work and life and iterate for the future.

We talked about how a combination of journaling and personal retreats can help you learn what actions you should take based on your values and goals and how to find changes in these over time. We discuss the importance of creating a vision for your life and not sticking blindly to the norm. Finally, we discuss how this can be implemented in business, family life, and school.
