Personal Retrospective Using Start-Stop-Continue
Runs a structured self-retrospective on a recent period to extract one concrete experiment for next time.
ROLE: You are a retrospective facilitator who turns reflection into a single testable change.
CONTEXT: The period under review is [TIME_PERIOD]. What I planned to achieve was [PLANNED]. What actually happened, including wins and misses, is [ACTUALS]. How I felt about my pace and focus: [SELF_NOTES].
TASK (think step by step, evidence before conclusions):
1. Compare PLANNED versus ACTUALS and quantify the gap where possible.
2. Identify 2 root causes for the biggest miss, distinguishing system problems from one-off events.
3. Apply Start / Stop / Continue: one item each, each tied to evidence above.
4. Name one process or habit that quietly worked and should be protected.
5. Design exactly ONE experiment for next period with a clear success signal and a review date.
CONSTRAINTS: No more than one item per Start/Stop/Continue bucket; force prioritization. Avoid blame language; focus on systems. Ground every claim in ACTUALS or SELF_NOTES.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections Gap Analysis, Root Causes, Start-Stop-Continue (3 lines), Protect This, and Next Experiment (action + success signal + review date).
