The Problem: Planning is Easy, Doing is Hard

We've all been there with New Year's resolutions. We write down "Get Fit", "Learn Rust", or "Start a Side Project". But a month later, the motivation fades.

Why? Because goals feel distant and abstract.

I built MandaAct to solve this using the Mandalart (9x9 Grid) technique. It breaks big goals down into bite-sized actions. But even with a great plan, execution needs a smart assistant.

That's why I'm excited to share the MandaAct 1.1.0 Update: The "AI & Clarity" Update.

🚀 What's New in 1.1.0?

1. Goal Diagnosis: Are You Being Specific?

A plan is useless if it's vague. "Exercise more" is a wish, not a plan. "Do 30 pushups daily" is a plan.

In 1.1.0, I introduced Goal Diagnosis. The app analyzes your grid and gives you a Clarity Score.

It checks:

• Specificity: Are your actions concrete?
• Measurability: Did you set a frequency (e.g., "Daily", "Weekly")?

2. AI Suggestions: When You're Stuck

Filing a 9x9 grid means coming up with 64 actionable tasks. That's mentally exhausting. Sometimes you just stare at a blank cell.

In 1.1.0, AI Suggestions come to the rescue.

• Idea Generation: Stuck on "Financial Stability"? The AI suggests actions you might not have thought of (e.g., "Review subscriptions monthly", "Set up auto-transfer").
• Actionable & Specific: It doesn't just give generic advice; it gives you checkable tasks.

Now, planning your goals feels less like homework and more like assembling a strategy with a smart assistant.
