At the end of the month, it is really easy to just flip the calendar and move on. Then a few months later, you realize that you never stopped to ask what was actually working for you.
This Month-End Review Mini-Checklist gives you a quick way to pause, look back and carry the good stuff forward. It is short, simple and easy to reuse every month.
What this mini-checklist is
The Month-End Review Mini-Checklist is a two-page printable reflection sheet that you can:
- Print and fill out by hand.
- Use on a tablet or laptop with your favorite PDF annotation app.
It is a freebie, so you get a simple focused review page without any extra clutter. You can use it on its own or pair it with your favorite planner or goal system.
A closer look at the pages
Page 1: Gentle month-end reflection
Prompts on this page:
- What went well this month?
Space to capture what felt smooth, satisfying or encouraging. - One thing I want to do differently next month.
A spot for a small habit tweak, a routine change or a mindset shift.
Page 2: Wins, carry-forwards and celebrations
Prompts on this page:
- Top 3 accomplishments I’m proud of.
A simple “top three” list so you can see what you actually finished. - Tasks or habits to carry forward.
Things that worked and deserve a spot next month. - One small win to celebrate.
Even on a messy month you can find at least one bright spot.
This page helps you end the month feeling clearer and a little more encouraged instead of just thinking about what did not happen.
