Weekly Review
One session does it all: close out the week, reflect, and plan the next one.
When to Use
Run this on Sunday (or Saturday if Sunday is busy). Do both parts in a single session.
Week Note File Naming
Week notes live at ~/notes/week_YYMMDD.md where YYMMDD is the date of that week's Monday.
Example: a week starting Monday April 7, 2026 → ~/notes/week_260407.md
Instructions
Work through the two parts in order.
Part 1: Review the Closing Week
- Find this week's note at
~/notes/week_YYMMDD.md(current week's Monday date). - Read the goals/tasks that were set for the week.
- Read
~/notes/todo.mdto check what got done. - Present a summary:
Week in Review — [Week of Month Day–Month Day]
Goals This Week [The goals/tasks set in the week note at the start of the week.]
Accomplished [What got done. Cross-reference the week note goals with todo.md completions.]
Incomplete [Goals that didn't get finished. No judgment — just facts.]
Carry Forward? Ask: "Anything from this week you want to carry into next week?"
- Ask two reflection questions (conversational — wait for each answer):
- "How did the week go overall?"
- "Anything you'd do differently next week?"
Part 2: Plan the New Week
- Calculate the upcoming Monday's date.
- Create
~/notes/week_YYMMDD.mdfor the new week using the template below. - Ask: "What are your goals for this week? What tasks do you want to make sure happen?"
- Take the response and populate the Goals section of the new week note.
- Ask: "Anything else to note going into the week? Deadlines, commitments, things to watch for?"
- Add those to the Notes section.
Week Note Template
# Week of [Month Day–Month Day, Year]
## Goals
[Weekly goals and tasks — what Connor wants to accomplish this week.]
## Notes
[Deadlines, commitments, context, things to watch for this week.]
## Reflection
[Filled in at the end of the week during the weekly review.]
Rules
- Always do both parts. Don't let the session end without creating the new week note.
- The reflection questions are conversational — ask them, wait, don't skip or auto-fill.
- If this week's note doesn't exist (e.g., it was never created), work from todo.md and ask what the goals were.
- Carry-forward tasks should be added to todo.md, not just mentioned.
- Keep the whole session focused. If it's running long, it's okay to timebox the planning step.
