If a person wants to know about self, in and out, then how could, s/he do that? It was a genuine question. The answer is simple, do your own Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunity and Threate(SWOT) Analysis. Do it yourself, and take help from keeth and kins or take help from expert if you are desperate. The reason behind this exercise is that, if one concentrated too much on everyday aspects of life and not stressed on Developmental aspects then s/he becomes myopic. These people know themselves but not that much. There awareness about them is negligible.Hence if one tries to know oneself in various phases and events of life then one can understand one-self very well. Few leaders do / did this kind of Review/s. For example the great Indian philosopher Revered Mr. J. Krishnamurthi used to say 'living life moment to moment' requires high amount of self-awareness and understanding and that is a prior requirement in emotional intelligence and even in spiritual advancement. Even, Revered Zen Gurus, Revered Vipasyana Guru, Revered Transcendental Meditation Gurus, tell to look at yourself as third person by detaching yourself from your own self. The path of progress start with this own awareness. If you want to progress more then try to take part in as many ethical activities as you can. E.g. Take part in Debate, Quiz, lot of Competitions, Group Tasks in the House/ with Relatives/ with Friends/in Social Activities, Ganesh Festivals, Diwali, Dandiya/ Navratri, Durga Puja and Individual Assignments, and try in different domains/ areas/ interests, as well. This you do for some time till you know what and how exactly you will face the Real World. After knowing your area of interest. Brain Calming and Meditation can help lot of people. In fact any spiritual activity can be a help. Taking part in everyday household activity like helping mother in cooking, going for grocery/ vegetables, cleanliness of house, gardening, washing cloths, watching movie with friends/ relatives, studying together, and other social activities also can helps you a lot. This exposure gives oneself to analyze himself at different situations and places and environments, thus making him multi-faceted personalities in their life.
If a person knows himself well in the student age itself then his life can turn into a well balanced journey. However, there is no time which could be prescribed to know oneself.
Hence, why not today?
Come on Life is short let us live it for great cause.
All the best.
