➀ Explore the modules
To choose the ideal modules each month, see below how each one works.
Focus Module
With the Focus module, you transform your goal into a visible process. It's a four-step cycle: objective, actions, results, and adjustments.
⚑
Objective
Where do you want to get to?
Avoid vague goals like "improve grades" or "study more".
Define something specific and focused on a real need, such as "Recover math and science in the 2nd semester".
⚙
Actions
What actions and habits make the journey easier?
Avoid vague goals like "improve grades" or "study more."
Define something specific and focused on a real need, such as "Catch up in math and science in the 2nd semester."
✭
Result
At the end of the month, where did you get to?
Avoid vague goals like "improve grades" or "study more."
Define something specific and focused on a real need, such as "Catch up on math and science in the 2nd semester."
✐
Adjustments
What went well this month? And what needs to change?
Avoid vague goals such as "improve grades" or "study more."
Define something specific and focused on a real need, such as "Recover math and science in the 2nd semester."
Routine Module
Homework, supplemental book reading, revisions, assignments... how can you truly remember what you did, what you only started, and what you skipped?
In the Routine module, you define four basic activities, such as tasks, revisions, study, and reading.
These activities can be planned by another person, such as a teacher (homework, for example), or by you (an intention to review material before a test, for example).
Every day, you mark the activities you did. If it's a planned activity, like homework or a review, mark whether you did it, didn't do it, or partially did it. If it's not a planned activity, such as a study session you decided to do that day, just mark that you did it.
And in this module, you will mark twice: in the circles next to the days of the month and in the bar graph at the top of the module.
1. Fill the circles completely to mark that you did an activity. If you haven't done something planned, just outline the circle. If you have done it partially (you started but didn't finish everything), fill only half of the circle.
2. Then, go to the bar graph. Note that there is a darker line right in the middle of it, between the central rectangles. To the right of this line, fill a rectangle whenever you have done an activity, planned or not. To the left of this line, fill a rectangle whenever you have not done or completed a planned activity.
Unlike the circles, never skip rectangles: they must be filled adjacent to each other.
Example:
On Monday, you did your homework and filled a rectangle to the right of the central line. On Tuesday, you didn't do your homework, so you filled the rectangle on the other side of the central line. On Wednesday, you did your homework, so you should mark the rectangle adjacent to the one you filled on Monday.
MÓDULO PADRÃO
Name the items you will track.
You can use the standard module, which already comes with the items Tasks, Reviews, Study, and Reading, or name the items your way, using the module with free space for you to write.
In the example below, the items are Homework, Study, Reading, and Assignments.
MÓDULO LIVRE
Você define as atividades:
Escreva nos espaços correspondentes.
1
Nomeie as atividades a rastrear
No módulo livre, escreva as atividades nas linhas ao lado do gráfico de barras.
OPCIONAL: CORES
Se quiser, atribua cores às atividades. Os círculos ao lado dos nomes são para você preencher com as cores correspondentes.
2
Escreva as atividades nas colunas de círculos
Copie os nomes das atividades na mesma ordem que você usou na etapa anterior.

Para itens incompletos ou não feitos, marque à esquerda da linha central.
Você pode preencher os retângulos a cada dia ou apenas realçar sua borda com um traço, deixando o preenchimento para um momento especial no último dia do mês.
E não pule retângulos. Se, por exemplo, você marcou estudo completo na segunda-feira e depois só na quinta, marque o retângulo de quinta-feira colado ao que você marcou na segunda.

➁ Choose the modules
Think about which ones you will use. We suggest 4 per month, but you can use more, like 6 modules, or fewer, like just 2 or 3 modules. See below for some compositions with different numbers of modules.
➂ Print the modules
Access your exclusive downloads area at concretize365.space and download your modules.
➃ Check the modules every day
Even if you don't make new notes on the day, reviewing the modules can give you insights and ideas you hadn't grasped before.
