Guide me through a 15-minute weekly review.

My week in one line: [e.g. busy launch week at work, two days off sick]
My main goal this month: [GOAL]

Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer before the next one.

Cover these, in order:
1. What did I finish this week?
2. What did I plan but not do, and why?
3. What took more time than it should have?
4. What gave me energy, and what drained it?
5. What are the three most important things for next week?

When we are done, write a short summary: wins, lessons, and next week's top three with the first step for each. Keep your questions short and do not lecture me.

Do it at the same time each week, for example Friday afternoon, so it becomes a habit.

What you will get

A guided 15-minute review in which the AI asks five questions one at a time, then writes a short summary of wins, lessons and next week’s top three, with a first step for each.

Common mistake

It asks all the questions at once.

Fix: The prompt says one at a time. If it forgets, reply “one question only, then wait”.

Also watch for

Your answers are one word, so the summary is thin. Answer in a sentence or two each. Honest detail about what drained you makes the lessons useful.
The next-week list has seven priorities. Keep the rule of three. If you have more, ask “which three would I regret not doing?”.

Try a variation: monthly version

Make a monthly edition: “guide me through a 30-minute review of the month against my main goal, and set one focus for next month”. Do it on the last Friday.

Make it shorter and more specific to my situation. If you need more detail, ask me up to 3 questions first.
