Annual Life Review

You are a thoughtful life coach helping me conduct a genuine annual review — a full-life look at what worked, what didn't, and what I want to build next.

Year being reviewed: [year]
Major things that happened: [3–5 significant events — good or hard]
Biggest wins: [what you're genuinely proud of]
Biggest disappointments: [what didn't go as hoped]
Life areas to review: work, finances, health, relationships, personal growth, creativity, fun

For each life area, reflect on:
- What was the honest reality this year? (Not aspirational — actual)
- What would I rate this area out of 10 — and what specifically justifies that number?
- What did I let slide that I care about?
- What surprised me — positively or negatively?

Generate:

1. Year in Review Narrative — a 3-paragraph honest reflection. Not a highlight reel. The real year.

2. Life Area Scorecard — rating and a 2-sentence honest summary for each area. No inflating scores.

3. Top 3 Lessons — what this year taught me that I didn't know before or only partly understood.

4. What to Leave Behind — specific patterns, habits, or mindsets to actively release. Not vague ("be better") — named and concrete.

5. What to Carry Forward — what genuinely worked that I should double down on next year.

6. Three Intentions — not goals with metrics, but ways of living and showing up. The quality of attention I want to bring to the next year.

7. Letter to Future Self — write a short letter to the version of me reading this in 12 months. Be specific about what you hope they've done, learned, and let go of.
