Level Up For 2024 With a Self Retro
Hi there,
Did you know that there are approximately 2,080 working hours in a year?
As of today, we’ve already worked about 96% of those hours for 2023!
That means we’ve spent 2,000 hours this year making decisions, moving quickly, failing, strategizing, achieving goals, working, working, working…
Have you ever paused to wonder, “are my choices helping me live the life I want to live?”

Remote Octopus recommends scheduling at least 60-90 minutes to conduct a self retro at the end of the year.
What is a self retro? A self retro, also known as a self reflection or annual review, is when you intentionally set aside time to reflect on your professional accomplishments, challenges, and learnings in order to ensure your choices are “helping [you] live the life [you] want to live.”
Plus we all know a good retro drives continuous improvement and increased productivity!
Wait a minute… this sounds a lot like my annual performance review for work. How is it different?
