A monthly review of what went well, what drained you, and what next month is for.
Updated
What this asks, and why
On the first morning of the month it asks how satisfied you were with the one just gone (1–5), what went well and what made it possible, what drained you and what you would change, whether you lived by your values (yes or no), and what next month is for. Twelve of these a year is a small commitment; the two metrics turn them into a year you can compare month by month.

Suggested rhythm
1st monthly · Morning. That is the schedule this program arrives with. In the app you can change the day, the time of day, or the rhythm itself — a weekly review can become a monthly one.
This opens a preview of the program in your browser. The questions, the metrics, and the schedule travel inside the link itself, so nothing is uploaded and there is no account. On an iPhone with Reflection Space installed, Safari’s banner at the top of this page hands the program straight to the app. In the app you see the same preview, tap Add to My Templates, and can start reflecting straight away. The free tier holds one active template — this can be it.
