If you don't have a beginning year list, then I'd probably start the other way. Make a list of what you did this year. Make sure it accounts for 80-90% of your time (remember to include any necessary paperwork/scutwork necessary for your job). Then sort that into major projects/workflows. So, for example, if you spend July-September last year spending 50% of your time aiding a team doing project X, then Project X is a business objective.

Yeah, this.

The other (arguably less honest) way to do it is to sniff around to find out what is currently important to your boss, then make those things your business objectives and shoehorn the work you've done into those categories.
