Monthly review journal prompts

Some of you may have already gone through the prompts I use to reflect on my year and plan for the next year — article here.

If you haven’t, and want something lightweight to close the month and prepare for January, here’s the standard monthly review prompts I go through.

My month was mostly focused on spending time with family and building new health and exercise habits.

Work carried on, but took a back seat as I planned my strategy for 2025.

I feel ready and excited for the new year. It can’t come soon enough.

Here’s my standard end of month journal prompt routine.
