Weekly Review — Week of January 13, 2025
Take 20–30 minutes at the end of each week to complete this review.
How was this week? (1–10)
Rating: 7/10
Why: Productive in the mornings, lost focus midweek due to context-switching. Finished the main project milestone, which felt good.
Wins 🎉
What went well? What are you proud of?
- Finally shipped the feature that's been in progress for three weeks
- Had a genuinely helpful 1:1 with a teammate — left feeling energized
- Got back to daily exercise after a two-week break
- Read 60 pages of Deep Work — reconnected with why focus matters
Challenges & Lessons 📖
What was hard? What did you learn?
- Overcommitted on Tuesday. Agreed to three things in one day without checking my calendar. Lesson: say "let me check and get back to you."
- Reactive mornings. Checked messages before doing deep work twice this week. The morning hours are my best — protect them.
- Underestimated the database migration. What I thought was 2 hours took 6. Add a 3× buffer for anything touching production data.
Next Week's Priorities
What are the 3 most important things to accomplish next week?
| # | Priority | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Complete onboarding flow draft | Blocking Q1 launch |
| 2 | 1:1 with Alex about career goals | Scheduled, important |
| 3 | Clear backlog of unanswered emails | Over 50 pending |
Reflection Questions
What would I do differently this week? Block the first 90 minutes of each day as "focus time" — no Slack, no email.
What am I looking forward to next week? The team offsite on Friday. Good chance to reconnect and plan Q1 together.
What am I grateful for? My manager went to bat for me in the planning meeting. I don't always see the advocacy happening behind the scenes.
Notes & Miscellaneous
- Read article on async communication — worth sharing with the team
- Phone interview for side project collaboration — follow up by Jan 20
- Dentist appointment rescheduled to Feb 3
Next review: January 20, 2025
How to customize
Fill this in at the end of each week — works best as a recurring Friday ritual. Customize the reflection questions to what matters most to you. Consider keeping past reviews in a folder to track patterns over time.
