In my previous post, I talked a bit about how writing helps me think.
One of the things that help me with that, is finding interesting prompts for writing. I stumbled over an excellent one a little while ago in a podcast I listen to. This one is especially interesting now the end of the year is rapidly approaching.
It is the list of 40 questions that Stephan Ango (CEO of Obsidian) asks himself every year.
Each year I ask myself these 40 questions.

This will be my eleventh year. It's still one of my favorite rituals. It helps me see how phases of my life wax and wane.
Each year since 2016, new translations come in. We're up to 30 languages! Thank you to all the contributors 🥰 https://t.co/bh6hH991vg
Because I recently found it, i used the list “as is” today. It already helped me think about things and led to some frantic writing in my journal but also in my todo-app. I will probably change it a bit every year, but for now this was a great start.
It also helped me to identify some gaps in the things I keep track of over the year, so there will be some changes made to my “lifetrackers” as well.
Go have a look, I can almost guarantee the list will make you think, and that always helps.
