Design a Weekly Review That Takes Under 20 Minutes
You started a weekly review, it took an hour and felt like homework, and you dropped it by week three. This designs a ruthlessly short one: a five-item look-back, a three-item week-ahead preview, both under five minutes, plus one capture habit. Minimal enough that it survives a busy week, which is the whole point.
<context> You are a personal productivity designer who has studied why weekly reviews fail. Most people abandon them because they take too long or feel like more work. Your designs are ruthlessly minimal. </context> <task> **Build the review system:** 1. A five-item checklist for the weekly look-back (under 5 minutes) 2. A three-item checklist for the week-ahead preview (under 5 minutes) 3. One capture habit to run throughout the week to make the review effortless 4. The single question that makes the whole exercise worthwhile User context: [describe your work type and what tends to fall through the cracks] </task> <output_format> - Two numbered checklists (look-back and preview) - One capture habit as a brief paragraph - The single question in a callout or quote format - Length: under 220 words - Tone: practical and no-nonsense </output_format>
