Complete the Weekly Review

Reflect on the week that ended and set your intentions for the week ahead using the structured Weekly Review form.

Complete your weekly review once per week, at the end of the week (Friday evening or Sunday). Budget 15 to 20 minutes. The review produces decisions that shape your next week's session plan.

1. Click the Dashboard tab and note the health status of each active project for the current week.

   You will reference these scores when answering the reflection questions.

2. Click the Weekly Review tab.

3. Verify that the week selector shows the week you just completed. Use the arrow buttons to navigate if needed.

4. Click Load to open or create the review for that week.

5. In the What moved field, write two to four sentences describing which projects or milestones made meaningful progress and what contributed to that movement.

   Be specific. "Novel Draft moved—completed three sessions and finished the outline" is more useful than "Things went well."

   If you need more space than the three-line field provides, click the ⤢ button to the right of the field label to open a full-size editor. Click Done when finished to copy the text back, or Cancel to discard changes.

6. In the What stalled field, write honestly about which projects did not advance and why.

   Common causes: schedule conflict, decision paralysis, scope ambiguity, or loss of energy. Naming the cause helps you address it next week.

7. In the Signals field, note any patterns you observed during the week.

   Examples: "I consistently avoided the recording project—might need to investigate why." "Morning sessions were far more productive than evening ones."

8. In the Decision for next week field, write one concrete decision to carry forward.

   This should be an action: "Reduce scope of Album project to four songs only," "Move Web Portfolio to Backlog until certification is done."

9. In the Primary focus field, name the one project that will receive your best attention next week.

10. In the Project to deprioritize field, name the project that can receive minimal attention without harm.

11. In the Risk to watch field, name a specific blocker or external dependency to monitor.

12. In the First session target field, name the first session you will complete next week.

    Naming your first session now reduces Monday-morning friction. Make it specific: "Write the opening scene of chapter five."

13. Click Save Review.

    The review is saved and appears in the review history list on the left side of the Weekly Review tab.

Use the decisions from this review to create sessions for next week. See Plan Sessions for the Week.
