As a Founder, Do You Make Time for Self-Reflection?

I founded my own business this year, and I love every second of it. However, it was by far the busiest period of my entire life.
Last months felt like I just had "jump off the cliff and build my wings on the way down". New challenges were popping up every day, and I spent all my time just reacting to them.
Until 3 weeks ago! I went to a bar to meet up with a good friend of mine. Our conversation about how we were doing in life turned a bit philosophic after a few drinks. She started asking some more profound questions about:
"if I was moving in the right direction with my business?",
"Are my current clients similar to the ideal customers I defined in my business plan?"
"Am I working in line with the purpose I pitched her at the beginning of this year?", etc.
For a moment I was shocked! I realized that these were quite essential questions to ask yourself every now and then, but the truth was I hadn't thought about them since I started on my own. As a result, I decided to create habits in my daily schedule for self-reflection. AND WOW! I think this is the best business decision I have made so far!
I kept improving this practice, because of the positive impact it had on me, my business, and everyone around me. I started building small tools to help me stick to these rituals (DM me if you want to learn more about this). Now I was wondering how you guys were dealing with this.
Who of you makes time for self-reflection?
How frequently?
Do you write them down, or are you just thinking about them?
Really curious to hear your stories, and maybe we can inspire each other!
