Monthly review questionnaire

Take a moment to look back at what you actually completed or meaningfully moved forward this month. Consider both big and small wins, and notice what you genuinely feel proud of. Pay attention to the actions, decisions, or conditions that helped those things happen.

Then look at what didn’t go as well. What fell short or stalled, and why? From your successes, identify anything worth repeating or developing further, so you can carry that momentum into the next month.

Reflect on the areas of your life that have experienced the most noticeable growth in the past month. Has your career advanced, have your relationships deepened, or have you made strides in personal development, health, or creativity?

Now, consider what contributed to that progress. Was it a new habit, a change in mindset, external support, or consistent effort? Identifying the factors that led to growth helps you recognise what’s working and how you can apply those same principles to other areas of your life.

Think about any new habits you’ve introduced into your routine recently. Have they been related to health, productivity, learning, or self-care? Reflect on whether these habits are having the positive impact you hoped for. Are they helping you feel more energised, focused, or fulfilled?

If the habits are making a difference, consider how you can build on that success. If not, ask yourself whether they need adjustment or if different habits might be more effective in helping you reach your goals.

Think about the challenges you’ve encountered over the past month. Whether they were personal, professional, or emotional, how did you respond to these obstacles? Reflect on the strategies or actions you took to handle them.

Now, consider what you might do differently next time. Were there aspects of your approach that worked well, or areas where you could improve?

Think about any tasks or goals you’ve been avoiding or delaying. Is there something you’ve been putting off, either because it feels overwhelming, uncomfortable, or simply not urgent? If so, does it still consume your mental energy as you're constantly remembering it?

Now, consider what small step you could take to start addressing it. Even a tiny action, like making a plan, setting a deadline, or asking for help, can help you overcome inertia and move forward. This reflection encourages you to break down what you’ve been avoiding into manageable steps, making it easier to tackle and build momentum.

Take a moment to think about the thoughts and feelings that have been front and centre in your mind recently. Have you been focusing on optimism, gratitude, and confidence, or have worry, doubt, or frustration been taking the lead? Maybe it’s excitement about a new opportunity or stress over something uncertain.

Now, ask yourself if these are the emotions and thoughts you want to keep amplifying. If they’ve been positive and motivating, how can you nurture them? If they’ve been negative or unhelpful, what steps can you take to shift focus? You might decide to adjust your mindset, seek out things that lift your spirits, or find ways to manage the stress that’s been getting in the way.

Think about your current approach to achieving your goals. Is there one thing you’d like to improve or change moving forward? Perhaps it’s being more consistent, setting clearer milestones, or allowing yourself more flexibility.

Identify a specific adjustment that could make your progress smoother or more effective in the coming month.

Think about what you’re excited about in the coming month. Maybe it’s an event, a personal milestone, a new project at work, or a trip you’ve been planning. It could also be something smaller, like spending more time on a hobby, deepening a relationship, or focusing on personal growth.

Now, consider what you can do to make sure it actually happens. Do you need to set aside time in your schedule, make specific plans, or prepare in some way to make the most of it? You might need to say no to other commitments or adjust your routine to prioritise it. Whatever it is, figure out the steps you need to take to ensure that what you’re looking forward to becomes a reality. If it matters, make sure your priorities reflect this.
