The tradition of summing up the year has become popular relatively recently.
Some even do it publicly - on social networks.
However, it is still better to do this alone.
Why it's worth summing up the year
This is objective.
There is no point in lying to yourself, so you will honestly draw objective conclusions. What you have achieved, what successes have accompanied you.
But it's not just the positive moments that need to be recorded. Be honest about your failures. This will help you protect yourself from them in the future.
Motivation
Experts note that people are used to striving for more, but sometimes there is not enough motivation for this. Summing up can fulfill this role.
If you haven't achieved anything impressive, you can improve the situation next year.
Prevention of depression
During the year, you had positive experiences anyway. If you are in a bad mood and have the first signs of depression in December, then a reminder of your own success can lift your spirits.
