Ask HN: How do you reflect on an experience?

Hey,

Thank you HN community! I start most days by reading through the top posts on HN, and it has been super helpful.

I am in the process of winding down my business after ten years. It's been a great learning experience. It consumed 1/3rd of my life and all of my adult life.

All these years I felt I didn't have time to pause and reflect. Now that I have a few months of downtime before my next gig, I want to reflect and extract as many lessons for myself.

However, I don't know how to proceed. Any framework/process that you have used in the past that has worked for you? I am at the moment just reading and flowing one link at a time. I think there can be a better way.

Best, Sameer
