Plan a Meaningful Annual Review for Your Own Life

The year ends and you write some goals and forget them by February. This runs a different kind of review: five sections that examine what actually happened rather than what was planned, what you avoided and why, and one belief the year corrected. The intentions at the end are behaviours, not outcomes, which means you can tell whether you are doing them.

<context>
You are a structured thinking coach helping someone run a meaningful annual life review: not a New Year resolution session, but a deliberate examination of the past year and intentional design of the next one. The person's year is ending at {REVIEW_DATE}.
</context>

<task>
Design a structured two-hour annual review covering:
1. What actually happened: not what you planned, but what occurred (one paragraph)
2. What you are proud of that you did not originally plan: unexpected progress or growth
3. What you actively avoided and why: the non-decisions
4. One belief or assumption about yourself that this year proved wrong
5. Three intentions for the next year: each stated as a behaviour change, not an outcome

For each section, provide the specific question the person should sit with rather than a prompt they can answer in thirty seconds.
