5 reasons that get in the way of summarising the year
Here are the 5 types of people who most often avoid taking stock of the year. Read carefully, you might recognise yourself.
Talked about them in detail in the video:
5 reasons why it hurts so much to take stock of the year

5 reasons why it hurts so much to take stock of the year
Sound familiar? Then let's continue.
What do you lose when you run non-stop?
- Capturing your results. You don't have time to take credit for them.
- A sense of pride in yourself.
- You lose the energy to live and move forward.
What does this kind of racing lead to?
- The past year seems empty and meaningless.
- You underestimate yourself and what you've already accomplished.
- Instead of clarity and lightness, you feel tired and frantic. If you don't stop and look at yourself, you miss the most important thing - realising your value. The feeling that you're alive.
Stop. You deserve to be noticed.
YOU are a person who has spent a year living, working, striving. What do you really want? To stop. To look back on your year and see not the emptiness, but the memorable moments that add up to a picture. And then you'll realise: you've done even more than you thought.
✨ You will find your strength, inspiration and clarity to enter the new year with ease and confidence.
✨S top running - it's time to breathe in and ignite the light within!
Type 2. The ‘Self Critic’ or ‘Critical Perfectionist’ is forever muttering:
- ‘I could do better if I tried harder... though no, it's still not the same’. - Come on, that's not an achievement. You should have done better. - Did you pass? That's fine. But I could have done better. Anybody could have done it.
- You're your own critic

The fussy runner
Always busy, always running.....
‘Running, running, running... but where to?’
Always busy, always running.....
‘Running, running, running... but where to?’
You've been busy all year: work, deadlines, family matters, millions of ‘very important’ tasks.
- Stop, breathe, look around? When!
- December turns into a race: how to get everything done - to buy, to make, to send,
- And in the end, the year is gone... and what?
Why is this a problem? When you don't see your own achievements, you live in a perpetual race for a mythical ‘ideal’. Your efforts don't turn into confidence, and you end the year feeling empty.
You start each new year thinking ‘this year I will definitely do everything perfectly’... but once again you set the bar too high.
Now imagine: You open your notebook or year-end list. You look at everything you've done and suddenly realise:
"I really did it! These projects, decisions, and actions are my accomplishments that are worthy of note!’.
What's in it for you? You'll be able to:
✨ See the real value of what you have done.
✨ Shift your focus from criticism to realising the victories.
✨ Build a plan for the new year on real achievements rather than chasing the ‘perfect’.
You'll see your victories and feel confidence. Not the kind that comes from being perfect, but real confidence from realising that you've already done the important things.
Warmed up in your heart?
Don't cry when you smile, I really like you!
Type 3. The Burned Out Achiever or the ‘5% Phone’.
The year started with enthusiasm, plans are laid out, goals are set. But now you feel like you ran an entire marathon for an empty medal. You seem to have done everything, but your inner ‘motor’ is running at its last revolutions.

- A burned-out achiever
You recognise that? Yeah, you manage to devalue even your greatest successes.
Everything you do isn't perfect, and it's infuriating. But you've been remembering your mistakes by name since 2007. You're the ‘Imperfect Idealist,’ the person who always sets the bar so high that you don't reach it yourself... and you don't let anyone else.

What's going on?
- All year you worked like an ox, but the joy of success has not come.
- It seems that you have achieved everything, but the inspiration has disappeared somewhere.
- Or, on the contrary, all that forward movement now seems pointless.
- Fatigue, as if you were carrying an invisible weight?
- Apathy, a feeling of emptiness and questions: ‘What's it all for?’
- Reluctance to set new goals because I know they won't bring joy.

Type 4. ‘The Maestro of Underachievers’ or ‘The Unfinished Hang-Up.’
You start out enthusiastically, making plans, but then this happens: ‘Well, I'll finish it tomorrow... okay, January... well, definitely sometime later!’ And so you walk into the new year with a garland of hang-ups.

- An unfinished dangler
What's going on? - Things hang unfinished, and their list grows like a snowball. - You're dragging around a pile of tasks all year long, and it takes energy and motivation. - A new year starts with junk and old problems, not a clean slate.
How do you feel? - A heaviness, like someone is constantly reminding you, ‘Hey, did you finish that?’ - Motivation fades - because uncompleted tasks keep you from moving forward. - Guilt and regret that you can't start something new while the old is ‘dragging on.’
How do you feel? - A heaviness, like someone is constantly reminding you, ‘Hey, did you finish that?’ - Motivation fades - because uncompleted tasks keep you from moving forward. - Guilt and regret that you can't start something new while the old is ‘dragging on.’
There are more questions than answers. ‘Why?’, “Where to?” and “For whom?” are playing in circles like a broken record, and there's no answer.
It's like you forgot to plug in your GPS: you're moving, but the direction slips away, and it seems like all roads lead nowhere.
Why is that?
You're busy with work stuff: deadlines, shopping, worries. Everything is important, but there's no room for the most important thing - figuring out why you're going forward. You do, you do, and there's an emptiness inside.

You're busy with work stuff: deadlines, shopping, worries. Everything is important, but there's no room for the most important thing - figuring out why you're going forward. You do, you do, and there's an emptiness inside.
What are you losing?
- Meaning. You don't realise the importance of what you're doing.
- Direction. Everything seems chaotic.
- Energy. Without purpose, any movement seems meaningless.
What does that lead to?
- Year after year, nothing changes. It's the same old thing.
- Instead of inspiration and joy, there is fatigue.
You need to figure out and find the answers to the questions:
- ‘Who am I?’
- ‘What have I done?’
- ‘Why am I doing this?’
What consequences do those who don't take stock of the year face?

Told in the video:
Every unclosed hang-up is energy you lose. Instead of moving forward, you get stuck in the past. Unfinished business is like a suitcase without a handle: it's hard to carry, but it's a shame to drop it. Come to the marathon and sort out your ‘suitcase’. We will help you to close old cases, to say goodbye to unnecessary things. You will find freedom and clarity to step into the new year lightly, without the weight of unsolved problems.
Type 5. ‘The Lost Dreamer.’
You seem to be fine. You look like everyone else and even better. You manage to do everything: you work, solve problems, fulfil plans. And it seems that everything is prosperous, you can be envied. But there is one ‘but’ - you do not understand why you do all this.
‘I'm sailing, I'm sailing... but the map is still at home.’

What do you get when you take stock?
What happens when you don't summarise?
60% of my clients say they lack energy, joie de vivre, vibrancy.
Burnout.
They have a sense that they are preoccupied with emptiness, that this is not their real life.
It's as if they live on autopilot, avoiding deep questions. What am I living for? What's next for me?
Ironically, it's the pauses, the weekend holidays birthday and new year that are the most trigger points in the year when questions of meaning come into sharp focus.

Motivation. Energy.
You'll close old chapters and be ready for a new phase. Taking stock helps you understand what really matters and what doesn't. You can focus on what brings you joy and strength. Clarity of purpose and meaning will give you the power to move forward. You will learn to identify your true goals and free yourself from the unnecessary.
A sense of completion.
Year-end results are a chance to put the past behind you. You close out unfinished business and make room for the new. A clear sense of completion: gives you freedom and you'll enter the new year with clarity and energy.
You create clarity and find meaning. Analysing the year gives you direction. Instead of blindly setting goals, you realise where you want to go and why. You find your core values and meaning. The energy will return and every step will be filled with meaning
A year-end summary that you can hold in your hands:
- A list that you can hang on your fridge and make your phone screensaver: achievements, important lessons learnt, people and moments that changed your life.
- A personal scrapbook of memories: photos, videos, notes on the most important things.
Taking stock is a basic habit of successful people, it's the key to a conscious life. It's an opportunity to see how much light you've already lit and to understand where to direct it next.
Don't miss this moment. Stop, realise, thank yourself and light your light even brighter in the new year.

Self Acknowledgement
You'll take time for yourself and realise how much effort you've put into your life and feel proud of yourself. You recognise your value, your uniqueness
You see your progress.
Sometimes it feels like a year has been wasted. But it is worth remembering how many difficulties you have overcome, how many steps you have taken, to see: you are much stronger than you thought. You see what you can rely on in the future.

I create a system of services that help people discover and realise their potential through the meaning of life, higher values and mission. For 11 years now, in December I have been summarising the year, harvesting the harvest. I hold marathons, because it's more fun together. Like-minded people help to keep focus and find more facets, because we see ourselves in each other like in a mirror.

What solutions the marathon gives you see in the video:
Don't make these 15 mistakes when summarising your year in review
How do you recognise them and fix them?
I love Oprah Winfrey's phrase:
Taking stock is a moment to thank the past and welcome the future
- Oprah Winfrey.
It would seem like nothing complicated. But then why do so many people not even want to do it?
❓ ‘I don't need to take stock!’
❓ ‘I don't see the point!’
❓ ‘What's in it for me?’
The answer is simple: either you've never done it right, or you've done it in such a way that the results bring no joy.
No wonder summarising seems like a waste of time.

No wonder summarising seems like a waste of time.
But if you summarise properly, it will become a favourite habit! You will feel a burst of energy, clarity, confidence, and most importantly - the desire to move on.
Let's look at the mistakes we make most often so we know how to avoid them.
There are two typical approaches to summarising:
- Not summarising.
- I do, but it does not give results, does not bring joy and satisfaction.
First approach: I don't summarise the results of the year.

There are two typical approaches to summarising:

- I do, but it does not give results, does not bring joy and satisfaction.
First approach: I don't summarise the results of the year.
Mistake 1.
Ostrich strategy: head in the sand
Reason: We are afraid of disappointment. What if the year didn't go the way we wanted it to? Why rake up the past when you can just forget it?
Harmful consequences: Instead of realising successes, you just keep running on autopilot.
Solution: Taking stock isn't about mistakes, it's about gratitude. Even in a difficult year, there were important accomplishments. Give yourself a chance to see them.

Reason: We are afraid of disappointment. What if the year didn't go the way we wanted it to? Why rake up the past when you can just forget it?
Harmful consequences: Instead of realising successes, you just keep running on autopilot.
Solution: Taking stock isn't about mistakes, it's about gratitude. Even in a difficult year, there were important accomplishments. Give yourself a chance to see them.
Mistake 2. ‘It's useless!’
Reason: It seems like taking stock is a waste of time. "Why waste time? Well, there was a year and that's fine. Better to think about the future!"
Harmful consequences: Without analysing the past, you take the same chaos and unresolved tasks into the new year.
Solution: Outcomes are your compass. They show you where you've been so you know where you want to go.
Mistake 3. ‘I don't have time.’
Reason: December is a marathon of to-do's, gifts, and meetings. There seems to be no time left for yourself. This is how the ‘fussy runner’ type, who always has no time, usually behaves, I wrote about him in this article: https://vc.ru/1703875.
Harmful consequences: The year ends with hustle and bustle rather than mindfulness.
Solution: Find at least 15 minutes a day. Even a short analysis will give you more than endless running around.
Mistake 4. ‘Knowing but not doing.’
Reason: Knowledge is one thing, but action is another. Even if you understand how to do it, you just ‘don't have time’ or are ‘lazy’.
Harmful Consequences: Knowledge remains theory and you keep moving without focus.
Solution: Debriefing in a group or with a mentor helps keep you on track and bring the process to completion.
Mistake 5. Taking stock only in work
Reason: In business, debriefing is standard practice. In personal life, however, it seems unnecessary.
Harmful consequences: You lose the balance between professional and personal.
Solution: Personal outcomes are not about numbers, but about feelings. Being aware of your emotions gives you strength and energy.
Mistake 6. Summarising only for yourself
Reason: You take stock alone without discussing it with your loved ones.
Harmful Consequences: You miss important points that others see.
Solution: Discuss your summarising with your family. This creates support and helps you see your year from a different angle.
Second approach: Taking stock, but it doesn't bring joy or satisfaction.
Reason: It seems like taking stock is a waste of time. "Why waste time? Well, there was a year and that's fine. Better to think about the future!"
Harmful consequences: Without analysing the past, you take the same chaos and unresolved tasks into the new year.

Solution: Discuss your summarising with your family. This creates support and helps you see your year from a different angle.
Second approach: Taking stock, but it doesn't bring joy or satisfaction.
Mistake 7. Business approach
Cause: The habit of counting successes with numbers and metrics.
Harmful consequences: This approach doesn't work in personal life, because emotions and meanings can't be digitised.
Solution: Include soft parameters: joy, satisfaction, calmness. They are more important than KPIs.
Mistake 8. Totals from your head
Reason: You don't write down the outcomes, you just think about them in your head.
Harmful consequences: Thoughts run in circles, conclusions are not drawn, and a plan does not emerge.
Solution: Write down the outcomes. Even short notes will help you structure your thoughts.
Cause: The habit of counting successes with numbers and metrics.
Harmful consequences: This approach doesn't work in personal life, because emotions and meanings can't be digitised.

Harmful consequences: Thoughts run in circles, conclusions are not drawn, and a plan does not emerge.
Solution: Write down the outcomes. Even short notes will help you structure your thoughts.
Mistake 9. Chaotic
Cause: A little thought about work, a little about family, but the full picture never emerged.
Harmful Consequences: The outcomes are disjointed, and they don't provide a clear understanding.
Solution: Use structure. For example, divide the year into areas: work, health, relationships, leisure.
Mistake 10. No life strategy
Reason: The key mistake most people make is that he has no life strategy, no document by which he can analyse the year and every month of his life.
He has nothing to look at, he has no life strategy, so summarising his life is pointless, he can't remember what he planned.
If a person has not written down his plans, then summarising is meaningless. You don't know what to compare it to.
Harmful consequences: The new year starts with the same mistakes.
Solution: Form a life strategy. It's like a map to help you stay on track.
We at our Life Strategy programme take stock of life carefully, we have a yearly plan and a plan for each month.
We go back to it monthly and see some recurring mistakes, what again we haven't done, we suddenly realise the barriers that are preventing us from moving forward. We strip away the unnecessary so we can focus on what's important.
Working with a life strategy allows us to be honest with ourselves. Having to really face the truth, no matter how disgusting it may be. And that leads to breakthroughs.

Mistake 11. Totals in January
Harmful consequences: No. You don't sit down. You're back to cutting salads, or allowing yourself to relax or having interesting adventures with friends. And the year-end results and plans are put on hold, indefinitely.Solution: I strongly recommend summarising in December to have time to finish things and remove unnecessary things from your life: fuss, unpleasant duties and everything that is annoying and annoying.
And then you will have time and energy for plans to start the New Year with ease. If there's an ‘unfinished hanger-on’ type among your acquaintances who has a hard time wrapping things up, they'll be grateful for a marathon!
Mistake 12. Criticism instead of gratitude
Reason: You only see your mistakes and devalue your successes. Does our ‘Critical Perfectionist’ type recognise themselves yet?
Harmful Consequences: Feelings of guilt and dissatisfaction.
Solution: Find at least three accomplishments you're proud of and praise yourself for them. In a group at a marathon, you have the opportunity to compare your results with other participants and find a reason to be proud of yourself.
The reason is simple: when you analyse your achievements alone, it is tempting to compare yourself to the best at everything. But you can't be the best at everything! And in a group, there is always room for admiring each other and sharing your experiences.
Mistake 13. Not re-evaluating values
Reason: You only evaluate the results and not how they have affected your life. We only evaluate the external parameter, and we don't look into the values we have gathered during this year. Harmful Consequences: The outcomes feel empty, you don't realise their significance.
Solution: Ask yourself: "What has this year given me as a person? What values have I gained?’. On my marathon we focus on analysing meaningful, deep results. Therefore, I strongly recommend you to come and summarise your results in the right way with the analysis of values.
Mistake 14. No ritual
Cause: Outcomes are put off because there is no habit or ritual for summarising them.
Harmful consequences: The whole process feels complicated and unnecessary.
Solution: Create your own ritual. For example, a cup of coffee, a candle, warm music and a notebook.
Mistake 15. Autopilot
Cause: Asking yourself the same standard questions: ‘What did I do?’, ‘What did I miss?’. It's like driving in a vicious circle: same routes, same thoughts, same results.
Harmful consequences: Outcomes become mechanical, without emotion or meaning. This causes inertia and prevents you from seeing the main thing.
Inertia is the main enemy of change. It makes us look back with resentment and forward with doubt. Year-end results become a drudgery instead of an inspiration.
Solution: To remove the inertia of thinking, switch on your imagination. My author's methodology is based on working with images. I suggest stopping and asking yourself:
- What inside you gives you energy and light? - How do you shine your light to the world, and why is that important?
The image of the light is what helps to remove inertia.

Cause: A little thought about work, a little about family, but the full picture never emerged.
Harmful Consequences: The outcomes are disjointed, and they don't provide a clear understanding.
Solution: Use structure. For example, divide the year into areas: work, health, relationships, leisure.
Mistake 10. No life strategy
Reason: The key mistake most people make is that he has no life strategy, no document by which he can analyse the year and every month of his life.
He has nothing to look at, he has no life strategy, so summarising his life is pointless, he can't remember what he planned.
If a person has not written down his plans, then summarising is meaningless. You don't know what to compare it to.
Harmful consequences: The new year starts with the same mistakes.
Solution: Form a life strategy. It's like a map to help you stay on track.
We at our Life Strategy programme take stock of life carefully, we have a yearly plan and a plan for each month.
We go back to it monthly and see some recurring mistakes, what again we haven't done, we suddenly realise the barriers that are preventing us from moving forward. We strip away the unnecessary so we can focus on what's important.
Working with a life strategy allows us to be honest with ourselves. Having to really face the truth, no matter how disgusting it may be. And that leads to breakthroughs.

Mistake 11. Totals in January
Harmful consequences: No. You don't sit down. You're back to cutting salads, or allowing yourself to relax or having interesting adventures with friends. And the year-end results and plans are put on hold, indefinitely.Solution: I strongly recommend summarising in December to have time to finish things and remove unnecessary things from your life: fuss, unpleasant duties and everything that is annoying and annoying.
And then you will have time and energy for plans to start the New Year with ease. If there's an ‘unfinished hanger-on’ type among your acquaintances who has a hard time wrapping things up, they'll be grateful for a marathon!
Mistake 12. Criticism instead of gratitude
Reason: You only see your mistakes and devalue your successes. Does our ‘Critical Perfectionist’ type recognise themselves yet?
Harmful Consequences: Feelings of guilt and dissatisfaction.
Solution: Find at least three accomplishments you're proud of and praise yourself for them. In a group at a marathon, you have the opportunity to compare your results with other participants and find a reason to be proud of yourself.
The reason is simple: when you analyse your achievements alone, it is tempting to compare yourself to the best at everything. But you can't be the best at everything! And in a group, there is always room for admiring each other and sharing your experiences.
Mistake 13. Not re-evaluating values
Reason: You only evaluate the results and not how they have affected your life. We only evaluate the external parameter, and we don't look into the values we have gathered during this year. Harmful Consequences: The outcomes feel empty, you don't realise their significance.
Solution: Ask yourself: "What has this year given me as a person? What values have I gained?’. On my marathon we focus on analysing meaningful, deep results. Therefore, I strongly recommend you to come and summarise your results in the right way with the analysis of values.
Mistake 14. No ritual
Cause: Outcomes are put off because there is no habit or ritual for summarising them.
Harmful consequences: The whole process feels complicated and unnecessary.
Solution: Create your own ritual. For example, a cup of coffee, a candle, warm music and a notebook.
Mistake 15. Autopilot
Cause: Asking yourself the same standard questions: ‘What did I do?’, ‘What did I miss?’. It's like driving in a vicious circle: same routes, same thoughts, same results.
Harmful consequences: Outcomes become mechanical, without emotion or meaning. This causes inertia and prevents you from seeing the main thing.
Inertia is the main enemy of change. It makes us look back with resentment and forward with doubt. Year-end results become a drudgery instead of an inspiration.
Solution: To remove the inertia of thinking, switch on your imagination. My author's methodology is based on working with images. I suggest stopping and asking yourself:
- What inside you gives you energy and light? - How do you shine your light to the world, and why is that important?
The image of the light is what helps to remove inertia.

I create a system of services that help people discover and realise their potential through the meaning of life, higher values and mission. For 11 years now, in December I have been summarising the year, harvesting the harvest. I hold marathons, because it's more fun together. Like-minded people help to keep focus and find more facets, because we see ourselves in each other like in a mirror.

A station that fills with meanings
How art helps to find the meaning of life.
How art helps to find the meaning of life.
The station of meanings is a bright space of developing multi-colored ribbons, filled with light and quotes from great people. A person chooses a quote, thinks about the meanings and explains what it means to him.
Nata developed the station of meanings to convey to each person the need to find and realize their personal meaning. And over the two years of work, Nata has observed how important it is for people to get into an unusual state in order to devote time to themselves and get an impetus for forming a personal life strategy for 100 years. This has a strong impact on people's lives.
The station of meanings is a way to convey the benefits and practicality of high meanings to every person from 5 to 99 through art. When we are filled with meanings, we feel the brightness of life, lightness, flight, a sense of magic and philosophy of life.
Invite the “Station of Meanings” to large events where 100 to 500 people will be in contact with meanings.
