@e-genieclimatique says:

in brief: The video is a guide on how to review the past year and plan for a better upcoming year.
1. **Introduction**: Amy Landino introduces the concept of using a year in review exercise to plan for a better year ahead. She credits Tim Ferriss for the idea and emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the past year.

2. **Year in Review Exercise**: Amy guides viewers through a simple exercise:
– Divide a sheet of paper into positive and negative columns.
– Review the past year week by week using your calendar.
– Note down events, activities, or people that triggered positive feelings in the positive column and those that triggered negative feelings in the negative column.

3. **Analyzing the Lists**:
– **Negative List**: This becomes your ‘not to do list’. Amy suggests keeping this list visible in the early weeks of the new year to remind yourself of things to avoid.
– **Positive List**: Identify the top 20% of items that brought the most joy or were most impactful. These are the experiences to focus on and replicate in the new year.

4. **Planning for the New Year**:
– Amy advises proactively scheduling activities that brought joy in the past year.
– She emphasizes the importance of saying no to things that don’t align with your priorities and focusing on what truly brings happiness.
– The idea is to fill your calendar with more of what made you happy in the past year, rather than just trying new things.

5. **Conclusion**: Amy concludes by encouraging viewers to trust their experiences and feelings from the past year to guide their decisions for the new year. She stresses the importance of leaning into positive experiences to create the best year ever.

Throughout the video, Amy shares personal examples and emphasizes the importance of reflection and proactive planning based on past experiences to achieve a fulfilling and joyful new year.gpt4
