New idea: Big Checkin

Nov 30, 2009 22:33

So I have this new idea that's something I can work on in my spare time. The idea is to make it easier and more interesting to do those end-of-year "this is what happened in the past year" checkin sorta reflections. And, to turn it into a longitudinal study, something that people can return to every year to compare, reflect, and add on to.

Particularly useful this year as it's the end of a decade as well. It might be interesting to reflect on the whole decade to see what progress we've made, what setbacks we've had, what friends and family were the most meaningful, etc. Secondarily interesting to capture thoughts on big general topics like politics, love, family, career, and recreation. Thirdly potentially interesting to compare your own general place in the world with everyone else in the world, or just people your age, or your friends.

I like the idea of having a place to capture the long arc of life, the big picture.

I got the idea when thinking about Kellianne and my first episode of the "holiday newsletter".

Anyone else also interested in this idea and want to help me brainstorm it out? I don't have much time, but I also don't think it's a huge project.
