Talk about a momentous occasion. Due to the pandemic, I had not traveled to the United States in one and a half years. As a result, I wanted this trip to be special. So, when it came to planning my week in Boston, I decided to check off a hotel “bucket list,” so to speak in the city by staying at The Colonnade.
I am a big believer in reflecting on your year. Why? At the end of the year, it’s easy to forget what truly happened over the past 365 days. As a result, I started looking back on my year. My process involves looking back month by month to reflect on what was happening – both good and bad – across my personal and professional life. I go through my calendar, my camera roll, this blog and my business site, JessicaGioglio.com, to help jog my memory.
Why do I do this? I want to fully process and reflect on all of the things I did across work, my travels, times with friends and family. I find that I have a tendency to forget things that happened or to summarize my year if I do not thoroughly reflect. I also believe that in order to be mindful about goal setting for the following year, you need to have an honest assessment of how the previous year went.
Instead of doing this privately for 2019, I wanted to use this blog post to share my process with you. In this post, I’ll share my 2019 highlights and key learning’s with you. I’ll also summarize how my reflections are shaping my 2020 goal-setting process. Are you ready? Let’s jump in!
After living in Boston for 15 years, returning for visits is always a delight – especially during the summer. There’s something magical about Boston in the summer – the city truly comes alive with rooftop bars, outdoor terraces and long walks to be enjoyed (especially the paths along the water!). In this post, I’m sharing where I ate and drank while in Boston. Read on for some mouthwatering restaurant and cocktail bar suggestions!
Is it just me or did 2018 fly by in a flash? While I wish I had made more time to write in this lil old blog in 2018, I continue to be amazed by how much traffic my blog gets, plus the top posts that bring people to The SavvyBostonian. Inspired by the most-read posts this year, here are my top blog posts to share with you.
