Why this helps
Without a written reflection, it is easy to repeat the same obstacles or forget what helped you make progress.
- Keep lessons from goal reviews available over time.
- Record obstacles and useful changes alongside progress.

- 3Tell Notis to create a dated retrospective from available goal progress, including wins, obstacles, and lessons to carry forward.

- 5Test with one real example and ensure the period's data is available.
