About Connect the Dots with Matt Ragland

Connect the Dots is a show about how different topics converge to form a new idea. We start from the perspective of productivity or creativity and how they intersect. But one of the things that has proven most fascinating to me over the years is how many other topics and disciplines impact creative and productive work. Like how much is productivity impacted by the improvement of physical health? How does creativity increase when you learn from new sources of inspiration? It's these questions that form the heart of Connect the Dots.

   The WRAP Annual Review for 2025

   Get the WRAP template and see an example here (https://matt.kit.com/annual-wrap) It’s that time of year – when we start thinking about what went well, what didn’t, and what we want to change. Successful people know that before planning the next year (or project, etc) you first need to review what happened in the past year. In this video I share a simple but powerful framework that will help make your reflection more meaningful (and actually useful). Ask yourself 4 simple questions: Wins - what went well and where did I win? Results - what happened with the goals I set? Alignment - am I living in a way that aligns with my values? Pivot or Progress - what do I need to do to make a great plan for next year? You might know WRAP as a weekly review method, but it works just as well for annual review. Here’s how to use it to look back on your year and plan for 2026. Thanks for watching! 01:27 - What is the WRAP? 02:58 - Wins (what went well) 08:43 - Results (of my 2025 goals) 15:40 - Alignment (with who I want to be) 20:36 - Pivot (to more success in 2026) 28:26 - What I love about annual reviews
