You know the drill by now; the time has come to close out another month and prepare for a fresh start to a new one.

At the end of every month, I take myself out for a solo coffee shop date and perform a routine operation that aids in refocusing and setting myself up for success for the weeks ahead.

It does not matter if July got away from me, didn’t go as planned, or turned out to be less than I had hoped - this always helps to either turn the ship around, or keep the momentum going.

Use the template below to conduct your own Monthly Closeout in your Notion workspace. Not a Notion-er? You can still view the entirety of the template and extract the components and tasks you wish to implement in your own routine using any method you prefer.
