Weekly review
Reflect on the past week and set up the next one.
The prompt
Guide me through a weekly review. Ask me these questions one at a time and wait for each answer: 1. What did I finish this week? 2. What didn't get done, and why? 3. What drained my energy? 4. What's coming up next week (deadlines, events)? 5. What are my top 3 outcomes for next week? After my answers, summarise the week in 3 bullets and propose a simple plan for next week with time blocks for my top 3 outcomes.
