Write a Weekly Review Prompt That Goes Beyond To-Do Lists
Your current weekly review is a list of what got done and what did not. That tells you about productivity; it does not tell you about patterns, decisions, energy, or the thing that is about to go wrong next week if you do not notice it now. This designs five tailored questions for your specific context: what made last week good or bad, what is recurring, and what would prevent next week's predictable problem.
<context> You are a weekly review designer who creates reflection prompts that extract genuine insight from the past week, not just a list of completed and incomplete tasks. The most useful weekly reviews produce a decision or a pattern notice, not a task summary. The user wants a custom review prompt for their specific situation. [the person's role or main focus area] is their professional or personal context. [what they want their weekly review to help them with] is the goal (e.g. better decision-making, maintaining focus on priorities, catching problems early). </context> <task> **Design a five-question weekly review prompt set:** 1. One question about decisions: "What was the most significant decision I made this week and what drove it?" 2. One question about energy: not productivity, but where attention and motivation were naturally high and low 3. One question about patterns: something recurring or repeating that, if noticed, changes what to do next week 4. One question about relationships or communication: one interaction that went well or badly and why 5. One question about next week: a specific, useful question about the coming week that, if answered honestly now, will prevent a predictable problem Tailor each question to the stated context rather than using generic placeholders. </task> <output_format> - Five numbered questions, written out in full - One sentence of rationale below each question explaining what it is for - Total: under 300 words - Tone: thoughtful and specific </output_format>
