The problem
You know a weekly review is valuable. But sitting down to remember everything you did, what went well, what didn’t, and what to focus on next week? That takes time and mental energy you don’t always have on a Friday afternoon.
The workflow
During the week: capture everything
Throughout the week, record voice notes as things happen. After a meeting, on a commute, during a break — just speak. Don’t worry about structure.
- A quick reflection after a client call
- An idea that hit you on a walk
- A frustration you want to address
- Something that went well and why
Friday: let AI do the review
Open your AI assistant and ask it to build your review from the week’s notes:
Pull up all my notes from this week. Create a weekly review: what I accomplished, key decisions made, open questions, and what I should focus on next week.
The AI searches through all your notes from the past 7 days, identifies themes, and produces a structured review in seconds.
