Life has a way of pulling us off course. Between work deadlines, family commitments, and daily distractions, it's easy to drift away from what truly matters. That's where a simple monthly habit check-in becomes your anchor. In just one page and 20 minutes, you can spot what's working, catch what's wobbling, and decide on one tiny change that will make next month smoother and more aligned with your values.
What Went Well This Month?
Start with the wins. This isn't about bragging—it's about recognising patterns that actually work for you. Ask yourself: 'What habits stuck? What moments felt easiest? When did I feel most like myself?' Write down specific examples.
- Maybe you finally kept your morning walk consistent
- Perhaps you stopped checking emails before bed
- Or you managed to read three chapters every evening
These aren't accidents. They're breadcrumbs showing you what conditions help you thrive. Keep doing what's working.
Where Did You Fall Short?
Now comes the honest bit. Where did your habits slip? This isn't about shame or self-criticism—it's about clarity. Look at the gap between what you intended and what actually happened.
Be specific. 'I fell short on exercise' is vague. 'I only went to the gym twice instead of the planned eight times because I kept hitting snooze' is useful. That level of detail shows you exactly where the friction lives. You're not writing a CV—you're leaving clues your future self can actually use to make adjustments.
What Will You Tweak?
Here's where transformation happens. Choose one small tweak—just one—that addresses your biggest slip. The key word is 'small.' Don't overhaul your entire life. Make one friction-free adjustment.
- Move that tempting social media app off your home screen
- Lay out your gym clothes the night before
- Set a gentle alarm 30 minutes before your ideal bedtime
Small fixes now prevent big messes later. That's the power of monthly course corrections before problems pile up.
How to Make Your Monthly Check-In a Habit
Consistency beats perfection. Schedule your monthly review in your calendar as a non-negotiable 20-minute appointment with yourself. First Sunday of the month. Last Friday. Pick a time that naturally suits your rhythm.
Keep it to one page. Three prompts. Twenty minutes maximum. End every session with one tiny action you can start tomorrow. Over time, these one-pagers stack up, and you'll see your habits steadily line up with your values. It's a quiet, powerful system for staying true to what matters most.
