Weekly Review & Planning Journal

Weekly Review & Planning Journal

It's Sunday evening. You have that vague feeling — the one where you know you were busy all week but can't actually say what you accomplished. Some tasks got done. Others rolled over. Again. The important stuff got crowded out by the urgent stuff, and now Monday is coming and you're starting the cycle over with the same list and the same low-grade anxiety.

Most people don't do weekly reviews because the process feels either too complicated or too pointless. Journaling for thirty minutes about "what went well" sounds nice in a blog post. In practice, you need something that takes five minutes, asks the right questions, and actually connects last week's patterns to next week's priorities.

This template is built around six questions. That's it. What got done, what didn't, what drained your energy, what gave you energy, what's carrying over, and what's the one thing that would make next week feel like a win. **The Weekly Journal captures each review as a running log — so four weeks in, you're not just reflecting, you're seeing patterns. The commitment you keep breaking. The type of work that always slips. The day of the week where your focus consistently collapses. **The Planning Board turns reflection into action — your top priorities for next week, laid out before Monday morning arrives.

Six questions. Five minutes. Every week. That's the whole system.
