Is this the best planning app?

In a company, there’s typically a regular performance review. If things don’t go as well as they should have, we don’t just leave it be — we reflect on it. We identify why things didn’t go according to plan and what we can do about it.

When I complete a task, I open up my planner app and leave a note in the details section of that task. This could be about how quickly I managed to get it done, what pitfalls I had to overcome, or how it could have been done better and/or faster. Or, if I couldn’t get it done, why. These notes build up over time and form a journal of things I’ve done in the past. Later, I can go over them and notice patterns of how I’m falling short of my own expectations. Seeing yourself in third person like that can bring great revelations you didn’t know about yourself. With that knowledge, I can adjust the way I do things to make my life easier in the present and future. This is perhaps the most important thing that people miss — reflection.
