遅くなりましたが、明けましておめでとうございます！
A belated Happy New Year to you all!
皆さんはどうやって去年を振り返り、新年の抱負を決めていますか？
How do you reflect on the previous year and set your new year resolutions?
今年は友達に勧められて、Year Compassという、2012年にハンガリーで生まれ、現在は39カ国語に訳されている年間計画ブックレットを使ってみました。
At the recommendation of a friend, this year, I tried using a yearly planning booklet called Year Compass, which was made in Hungary in 2012 and has now been translated into 39 languages.
20ページのブックレットには様々な質問があり、ゆっくりと時間をかけて答えていきます。
In the 20-page booklet, there are various questions, and it asks that you take your time answering each one.
前半は一年を色々な側面から振り返るための質問。
The first half has questions that help you reflect on the past year from different perspectives.
後半は新年の願いや希望、目標を立てるための質問。
The second half has questions that help you set your wishes, hopes, and goals for the new year.
「最低3時間は掛かります」と最初のページに書いてあり、絶対そんなに掛からないでしょ～って思っていたら、終わるころには4時間経っていました
On the first page, the booklet advises that it will take at least 3 hours for you to complete everything, which I didn't believe...but by the time I finished, I realized that I had taken about 4 hours!
一年の細かい出来事を思い出すのは結構難しくて、集中力と体力が試されますが、終わった後には気持ちがすっきりし、新年の目標を例年よりも明確に設定できたと思います。
It was pretty difficult trying to remember all of the specific events of the past year, and the whole experience definitely required a lot of concentration and energy. But by the time I finished, I felt refreshed, and I think I was able to set clearer goals for this year compared to other years.
