Why use this checklist
At the action level, choose near-term tasks; at the direction level, check their connection with longer-term goals. A review helps notice differences between plans and reality, but does not automatically prevent crises. The balance wheel records your own ratings: a low score can prompt reflection, not a diagnosis. Compare available records across periods yourself; automatic detection of medical or life risks is not promised.
How to use it
Try planning on the first Sunday or the last day of the preceding month. Reserve a manageable quiet block, such as 60–90 minutes. Use the Sinqly balance wheel for a visual self-review. Limit large goals to a number that fits your capacity; up to 3 is one example. Keep the plan visible and schedule a mid-month review to adjust it.
For recurring actions, use the Sinqly habit tracker. Organize morning activities in the morning routine module. The weekly planner helps distribute tasks, and you can discuss next steps with the AI coach.

Frequently asked questions
How does monthly planning differ from weekly planning?
A monthly review usually concerns goals and direction; a weekly review concerns immediate tasks. Connect them manually by choosing a stage of a monthly goal and recording actions. Automatic synchronization of all levels is not promised.
How can I avoid abandoning the plan halfway through?
Divide the goal into small stages and schedule regular reviews. Mark your tasks in Sinqly and change an overloaded plan. One missed review does not require starting over.
How many monthly goals should I set?
Choose a number based on available time and commitments. One main goal and a few supporting goals is an option, not a universal limit.
