Look back before you look forward
Start with what actually happened, not what you meant to do. What moved this week? What didn't, and why? Naming the real reason — too big a step, no time blocked, unclear next move — is where the useful adjustment comes from.
Keep it kind, not a performance review
The point isn't to grade yourself; it's to learn what your week can actually hold. A review that turns into self-criticism gets skipped. One that's honest and generous gets repeated — and repetition is the whole value.
End by choosing next week's one focus
- What moved, and what didn't (in one line each).
- Why — the real reason, not the guilty one.
- The single most important thing for next week.
- The first concrete step, small enough to start Monday.
