Set One Review Objective
Monthly review is for decision quality, not for collecting more symbolic meanings. One clear objective prevents analysis overload.
Select the area with the highest current pressure: career, finance, relationships, or health.
Organize Last Month Clearly
List key events, then separate controllable factors from uncontrollable factors. This improves planning precision for next month.
Also document wins. Repeatable success patterns are as important as risk events.
Design Next-Month Actions
Limit actions to three and define trigger conditions clearly. Specific timing and context increase follow-through.
Include one contingency action for likely disruptions so execution does not collapse under stress.
Two Quality Questions
Ask where interpretation improved your decisions and where it distorted your judgment. This keeps usage calibrated.
Over time, these questions help maintain a healthy balance between symbolic insight and practical reasoning.
