I write a Weekly Journal Reflection. This reflection is based on nuggets of thoughts, ideas & learnings that struck me during the week.
Below are abbreviated excerpts from my Weekly Journal Reflections.
How do you reflect on your thoughts, ideas & learnings and how do use your reflections to inspire yourself?
