- Bring archived goals into a recurring retrospective.
- Choose a reflection question that fits your current planning needs.
- Keep past commitments available for a deliberate review.

Questions about this workflow
What data does the Beeminder action retrieve?
It retrieves archived goals for the specified user. It does not retrieve unlisted history or infer why a goal was archived.
Can the retrospective explain why I stopped a goal?
Only if that reason is present in the available data or you include it in your instruction or supplied context.
Can I change how often it runs?
Yes. Choose the recurring schedule when setting up the Notis automation.
