Half-yearly review

That was the title of Sidewinder's post. That's a positive way of looking at things. You look at yourself and ask:
What have I done?
What should I do?
'Where' am I going?
Is this 'where' I want to go?
'Where' am I now?
Should I do course correction?
Is the destination important?
or is the journey more important?
and so on.

Sidewinder's post - Half Yearly Review - reflects on some of these questions. He also gave me a link to a video about happiness - Dan Gilbert: Why are we happy? Why aren't we happy?
Relevant to the topic is the post by Adrianne Tan - What Am I Doing Here?

There are others who call this kind of activity - a post-mortem. A negative view? LOL.

Nomenclature might have something to do with age also - those who believe they are in the last leg of their journey might call it as above. But again - 'Looking Back' - is a positive way of saying it, isn't it?

Age too might not be an important factor, because an elderly relative of mine does only 'reviews' periodically. So its a matter of attitude, I guess.

What do you think? Do you want to do a 'Review', a 'post-mortem' or a 'Looking Back' activity/post?
I'd love it if any of you could do this as a tag.

Is there a None of the Above option?

@Deepa - Why did I not think of that?
None of the above
That would have been the best option (by choice).
