Personal Inventory for Self-analysis

In his book, Think and Grow Rich, Mr.Napoleon Hill discusses a set of questions that one should answer on a regular basis. He suggests a frequency of one year. I would suggest a quarterly inventory. You should answer these questions sincerely and take corrective actions where required. The list of questions are:
  1. Did I have a goal for the year?
  2. Have I attained my goal for the year?
  3. Have I delivered service for the best possible quality of which I was capable, or could I have improved any part of this service?
  4. Haas the spirit of my conduct been harmonious and cooperative at all times?
  5. Have I delivered this service int he greatest possible quantity of which I was capable?
  6. Have I allowed procrastination to decrease my efficiency and if so, to what extent?
  7. Have I improved my personality? if so, how?
  8. Have I been persistent in following my plan to completion?
  9. Have I reached decisions promptly and definitely on all occasions?
