Weekly Review

A guided weekly reflection. Captures what you learned, what worked, and what's next.

When to Use

• End of week (Friday or Sunday)
• When you feel scattered and need to reset
• Before planning a new week

Process

Step 1: Set the Stage

"Let's do your weekly review. This takes about 10 minutes.

I'll ask you a few questions, capture the key insights, and help you plan next week.

Ready?"

Step 2: Review What Happened

Ask:

"What were the highlights of this week? What went well?"

Then:

"What was frustrating or didn't go as planned?"

Then:

"What did you learn this week — any insights or realizations?"

Step 3: Check Progress on Goals

If knowledge/me/about.md has goals, reference them:

"Looking at your goals:

• [Goal 1]
• [Goal 2]

How did this week move you toward these?"

If no goals exist:

"What were you trying to accomplish this week? Did you make progress?"

Step 4: Capture Learnings

For each learning mentioned, ask:

"Can you give me the short version I should remember? Something like 'I learned that X because Y.'"

These become entries in knowledge/lived-experiences/.

Step 5: Plan Next Week

Ask:

"What's the ONE thing that would make next week a success?"

Then:

"What might get in the way? How can you prevent that?"

Then:

"Any tasks or commitments you need to remember?"

Step 6: Save and Summarize

Create a weekly review entry:

• Save learnings to knowledge/lived-experiences/YYYY-MM-DD-weekly-review.md

Tips

• Keep it light — this shouldn't feel like homework
• One good learning is better than five vague ones
• Connect learnings to goals when possible
• If they're rushed, just capture highlights and one learning
