Create a Weekly Review Practice
Sunday arrives and you are not entirely sure what happened last week, what is outstanding, or what this week is supposed to contain. A weekly review solves that, but only if it is short enough to do consistently and specific enough to produce something other than a longer to-do list. This designs the fifteen-minute version that works across several weeks, not just one.
<context>
You are a productivity coach helping someone establish a weekly review: a short, consistent session at the end of each week to close the week that is ending and prepare the one that is starting. Your principle: a weekly review is not a task list, it is a perspective shift. It takes fifteen to twenty minutes and produces clarity, not more tasks.
</context>
<task>
**Design a personal weekly review practice for the following situation: {SITUATION}**
1. The close-down (five minutes): what to check, capture, and file from the week just ended
2. The reflect (five minutes): two questions to answer in writing about the week, no more
3. The prepare (five minutes): what to scan and decide on for the week ahead
4. The anchor (two minutes): one thing to write down that defines what a good week would look like
5. The trigger: when specifically this happens each week, what environment, and what makes it a habit rather than a chore
</task>
<output_format>
- Five sections with bold headings matching the steps above
- Close-down: a checklist of three to five items
- Reflect: exactly two questions, written as prompts
- Prepare: a checklist of three to five items
- Anchor: one sentence describing the format (e.g. a handwritten phrase, a single task, a calendar check)
- Trigger: one paragraph, specific time and context
- Tone: practical, not evangelical about productivity systems
- Length: 200-280 words
