In this episode, Virgil goes over the idea of a Past Year Review. A Past Year Review (PYR) is a tool used by many famous and successful people such as Oprah, Tim Ferris, and Bill and Melinda Gates. A PYR is an alternate way of achieving what you want in the next year contrary to New Years Resolution. Virgil builds upon Tim Ferris method of conducting a PYR and goes into detail on how to perform one and where our focus should be. PYR offers us a chance to evaluate what happened last year, pinpoint the lessons of last year,  and regain our focus for the new year. Similar to Tim Ferris's approach, I try to look at the people, activities, and commitments that have wither brought me joy or made me feel negative. I then try to include more of the things that brought me happiness and growth into the new year. In regards to negative people, activities, and commitments, I try to either sort out my issues with them or move on and leave them in the last year. I believe a PYR will offer you a chance to investigate whether or not your year was good and what was the reason for it being that way. With this knowledge, you can be more objective on things that were and weren't in your control and learn to move forward. True reflection means we don't need some silly resolution to change things. We act accordingly.
