Monthly life-review
Trajectory
Direction, not destinations. Four areas of life, each with an ideal you wrote yourself, revisited once a month. No score — the gap is the whole point. For the specific things you want to have done, use your bucket list.
Health
Strong enough to carry my own bags up four flights, at sixty.
The gap to your ideal is the score.
- Jul 2026Runs per month 10
Back to three a week. Sleep is the weak link, not effort.
- Jun 2026Runs per month 7
Missed two weeks to a cold. It cost less than I feared.
- May 2026Runs per month 12
Started the long runs. Slow, and slow is fine.
Finance
Twelve months of runway, so a bad year is inconvenient and not a crisis.
The gap to your ideal is the score.
- Jul 2026Months of runway 5
Spent more than I meant to. Wrote down why rather than pretending.
- Jun 2026Months of runway 6
Boring transfers are doing the work. Runway up two months.
- May 2026Months of runway 4
Set the standing transfer up so it stops needing willpower.
Knowledge
Able to read a paper in my field without reaching for a glossary.
The gap to your ideal is the score.
- Jul 2026Hours studied 20
Finished the second textbook. The glossary trips me less.
- Jun 2026Hours studied 11
Read less this month. Reading about reading is not reading.
- May 2026Hours studied 14
Picked the field properly instead of sampling five.
Relationships
The people I love hear from me before they need something.
The gap to your ideal is the score.
- Jul 2026People reached out to 5
Called my sister without a reason. That was the whole point.
- Jun 2026People reached out to 2
Let two weeks go quiet. Noticing it is the fix.
- May 2026People reached out to 6
Wrote the list of people I actually want to keep.
