With the government set to announce another three weeks of #lockdown today – and probably more to come after that – it’s a good time to review how we are doing, both personally and within our work and family lives.
Kolb’s learning cycle is a useful model for this review:
Experience: What’s been happening? What have I been doing and saying during this time?
Review: How is it going? What’s going well or not so well?
Conclude: What could I have done differently? What other options do I have?
Plan: What can I learn from this? What can I do differently from now on?
It’s a great model because it applies to everything you do, say, think or feel – from the run-of-the-mill, (like how often I go to the supermarket), to the existential, (how do I want to live my life after this is over?).
Give it a try – it’s simple but effective!
