This document provides guidance on how to conduct personal retrospectives. It recommends preparing by setting the stage with music, then gathering data from calendars, notes, and feedback. The next step is to generate insights by creating a timeline of events, asking why things occurred, and identifying patterns. Goals and actions are then decided on to improve going forward. The retrospective closes by reflecting on what was learned and setting intentions for the future. Regular personal retrospectives allow for self-reflection and continuous learning opportunities.
