Monthly review: read your month and decide the next one
Once a month, twenty minutes: your month at a glance, your weeks with the words you wrote in each one, what you carried over and the next month planned. All on one screen, next to your journal.
Your month at a glance
A calendar with one square per day, in the colour of how you felt, with your favorite days marked. Next to it, what you finished and what is still pending, by topic and compared with the previous month.
Your weeks, with your own words
Each week of the month appears as a card: its numbers, whether you did its weekly review and the first words you wrote in it. Open any of them, or do the ones you skipped, without losing your place in the month.
Clean what you carried over
Pending tasks of this month and of earlier ones, the oldest first. Move each one to another day, keep it where it is or remove it. Nothing is deleted unless you choose it.
Plan the next month
Create the tasks of the next month with a day, a time and a duration, see what is already planned and reserve a monthly slot in your agenda for the review.
Your weekly reviews, added up
You do not need to have done every weekly review: the numbers of the month are always counted from your days and tasks. When you did them, their words are there too.
