Goodbye 2009. Hello 2010!
Adapted from David Allen, the Getting Things Done guy, here is a list of questions to empower you to reflect on the past year and plan for the next one.
Reflecting on the past year:
1. List all of your completed food-related projects/experiences from 2009. They can include new restaurants, new recipes, new foods tasted, etc.
2. Review the list. What was your biggest food triumph in 2009?
3. What one word best sums up and describes your 2009 food experiences?

9. What was the biggest food-related risk you took in 2009?
10. What was the biggest food-related surprise in 2009?
Creating the new year:
1. What would you like to be your biggest food-related triumph in 2010?
