Achievements & Wins** - Read daily notes from `reflections/daily/` for the week - Identify completed tasks, shipped features, milestones reached - Celebrate wins (even small ones) **2. Time Allocation Analysis** - How was time actually spent vs planned? - Did Primary project get 40-50% of project time? - Did art practice happen 3-4x as intended? - Where did unexpected time go? **3. What Worked Well** - Systems/processes that helped - Decisions that paid off - Energy management wins - Good days (what made them good?) **4. What Didn't Work** - Blockers that emerged - Distractions or time sinks - Energy drains - Commitments that didn't serve goals **5. Learnings & Insights** - Technical learnings - Process improvements discovered - Personal insights about working style - Patterns noticed ### Part 2: Project Review (Current State) **Invoke Project Health Check skill** to get: - Status of all projects - Blockers identified - Velocity assessment - Priority alignment check **Additional considerations:** - Should any project priority change? - Should any project be paused? - Are new opportunities worth pursuing? - Is scope creep happening? ### Part 3: Domain Check-Ins Quick pulse check across key life domains: **Career (Strategist):** - Progress on career goals? - Relationships built/maintained? - Skills developed? **Wealth (Banker):** - Financial progress this week? - Side project revenue movement? - Investment actions taken? **Health (Spartan):** - Fitness consistency? - Sleep quality? - Energy levels? **Art (Artist):** - Practice sessions completed? - Skill progress noticed? - NMA curriculum advancement? **Operations (Atlas):** - System health? - Balance maintained? - Burnout risk? ### Part 4: Next Week Planning (Looking Forward) **1. Project Priorities** - Confirm Primary/Secondary/Maintenance focus - Adjust if needed based on health check - Set specific milestones for the week **2. Calendar Planning** - Block deep work time for Primary project - Schedule art practice sessions - Identify high-meeting days (protect energy) - Plan YourPet care around work schedule **3. Top 3 Priorities for Week** - What MUST ship/progress? - What would make next week a win? - What blockers must be cleared? **4. Commitments & Constraints** - Any special events or travel? - Deadlines approaching? - Energy reserves (coming off busy week)? **5. One Thing to Improve** - Based on "what didn't work" - pick ONE - Specific experiment to try - How to measure if it worked? ## Output Format Save to: `reflections/weekly/YYYY-MM-DD.md` ```markdown # Weekly Review - Week [N], [DATE RANGE] ## 📊 Week Overview **Theme:** [One word/phrase capturing the week] **Overall Rating:** [1-10] **Energy Level:** [High/Medium/Low] --- ## 🎉 Wins & Achievements ### Projects - ✅ [Specific achievement - project name] - ✅ [Specific achievement - project name] ### Art Practice - 🎨 [Sessions completed, skills practiced] ### Career/Growth - 📈 [Professional wins] ### Personal - 🌱 [Life/health/relationship wins] --- ## ⏱️ Time Allocation **Planned vs Actual:** - **Primary Project:** Planned X hrs → Actual Y hrs - **Secondary Project:** Planned X hrs → Actual Y hrs - **Art Practice:** Planned X hrs → Actual Y hrs - **Work:** 40 hrs - **YourPet:** ~7 hrs **Assessment:** [On track / Overcommitted / Need adjustment] --- ## ✅ What Worked Well 1.
