Monthly reset ritual

See example output

Filled in with Default prompt

First-Sunday Reset (45 min)
☕ 5 min: make a drink, phone on Do Not Disturb
📝 15 min, review: What went well? What drained me? What did I avoid? What did I learn? What do I want more of?
💰 10 min: check spending vs budget, cancel one unused subscription
📅 10 min: clear next month’s calendar of anything not essential
🎯 5 min: choose ONE focus for the month
🎁 Reward: a long walk or your favourite breakfast

Example only. Your answer will differ depending on your details and the AI tool.

Getting better results

Make goals specific and small. “Get fit” fails; “run 20 minutes, 3 mornings a week” sticks. The habit prompt does this conversion for you.

Plan around your real schedule. Paste your typical day so the AI can find realistic time slots.

Review before you resolve. A quick year-in-review shows what actually worked in 2026, which makes 2027’s goals far more realistic.
