Weekly Review Workflow

A 15-30 minute session to reflect on progress and plan ahead.

When to Do It

  • Friday afternoon (reflect)
  • Sunday evening (prep)
  • Monday morning (plan)

The Prompts

Step 1: Review Completed Work

What did I accomplish this week?

Example response:

This week you completed 12 tasks:

By Goal Alignment:

  • "Ship Q1 roadmap": 4 tasks (roadmap presentation, 2 specs, stakeholder review)
  • "Improve activation": 2 tasks (checkout flow analysis, user interviews)
  • "Build SDK expertise": 1 task (integration guide published)
  • Maintenance/admin: 5 tasks

Highlights:

  • Finished Q1 roadmap presentation (P0) - major milestone
  • Published your first SDK integration guide
  • Cleared 5 admin tasks that were piling up

Time invested: ~18 hours of focused work logged

Step 2: Check Goal Progress

How am I tracking against my quarterly goals?

Example response:

Q1 Goals Progress (Week 3 of 12):

Goal Status Notes
Ship Q1 roadmap 🟢 On track Presentation done, specs 60% complete
Improve activation by 20% 🟡 Needs attention Research done, no implementation started
Build thought leadership 🟢 On track 1 of 4 planned posts published

Recommendations:

  • Activation goal needs more focus next week
  • Consider adding a P1 task to kick off checkout improvements

Step 3: Identify Blockers

What's blocked or stalled?

Example response:

Blocked tasks (3):

  1. "API integration spec" - waiting on engineering estimates (5 days) → Suggest: Follow up with James Monday AM

  2. "User research synthesis" - waiting on transcripts (3 days) → Suggest: Check with research team

  3. "Mobile prototype review" - waiting on design (7 days) → Suggest: Escalate to design lead

Stalled tasks (started but no progress this week):

  1. "Competitive analysis doc" - started 2 weeks ago, 20% complete → Is this still a priority?

Step 4: Plan Next Week

Help me plan next week. What should my top priorities be?

Example response:

Based on your goals and current tasks, here's a suggested focus:

Must do (P0/P1):

  1. Unblock API integration - follow up Monday
  2. Start checkout flow implementation planning
  3. Write SDK v2 migration guide (due Friday)

Should do (P2): 4. Finish competitive analysis 5. Prep for Thursday's product review

If time allows: 6. Research AI search feature idea 7. Clean up documentation backlog

Time budget:

  • Deep work available: ~15 hours
  • Meetings: ~10 hours
  • Buffer for urgent items: ~5 hours

Does this feel right, or should we adjust priorities?

Quick Version (5 minutes)

Quick weekly review: What did I finish, what's blocked, what's most important next week?

Tips

  • Block 30 minutes on your calendar for this
  • Do it in a quiet space, not between meetings
  • Be honest about what's stalled - it's data, not judgment
  • Update GOALS.md if priorities have shifted
