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.
