Review Month

Review Your Month

A guided monthly reflection to look back on what happened, celebrate progress, and make adjustments for the month ahead.

Steps

1. Recap the month — Use your calendar skill to review major events, meetings, and milestones from the past 30 days. Summarize what the month looked like at a high level.

2. What went well — Ask the user what they're proud of or happy about this month. Prompt with specific areas: work, health, relationships, personal projects, learning.

3. What was tough — Ask about challenges or things that didn't go as planned. Keep it constructive — focus on what can be learned, not what went wrong.

4. Goal progress — If the user has goals (quarterly, annual, or ongoing), check in on each one. Note progress, stalls, or completions.

5. Adjustments for next month — Based on the reflection, suggest 1-3 small adjustments. Maybe a habit to start, something to stop, or a priority to shift.

Notes

• This is a personal reflection, not a performance review. Keep it warm and supportive.
• Don't push too hard on areas where the user is struggling. Acknowledge difficulty.
• If the user hasn't set explicit goals, help them notice patterns from the conversation.
• This pairs well with the set-quarterly-goals workflow for bigger-picture planning.
