Timeline Map
Solo – Pen & Paper – 10 Minutes
How to Run Timeline Map
- Have participants get paper & pen (for virtual, have them do this on a horizontal word document)
- Invite them to draw a line representing the time horizon
- Give everyone 3-4 minutes to fill out their timeline with 5-6 highlights, low-lights, or milestones
- Optionally, have participants share 1-2 notable moments with the group while you take note of it on the groups’ collective timeline map (for virtual sessions, make this on Google Slides) and share the collective map to wrap-up
Example & Prompt
The length of time will create different milestones, with shorter scopes highlighting smaller wins, and longer time periods highlighting only major events. To narrow the prompts further, emphasize a life area to focus on.
- Highlights & milestones in the last six months
- Highlights & milestones in the last year
- Highlights & milestones in the five years
