INSIGHT

Value of Reflecting with Horizons

  • Reflecting on your life and work is underutilized but crucial for progress with GTD habits.
  • Horizons of Focus help maintain awareness of your purpose, values, and goals to guide reflection.
ADVICE

Review Horizons at Right Frequency

  • Review next actions daily, projects weekly, areas of focus monthly, and higher horizons quarterly or yearly.
  • Adjust frequency based on personal or life changes to maintain alignment and direction.
ADVICE

Daily to Quarterly Reflection Routine

  • Look at your Horizons of Focus document daily for five minutes to notice any cognitive dissonance.
  • Decrease frequency to weekly, monthly, then quarterly as familiarity grows to sustain direction and update as life changes.
