My Weekly Review Workflow, Automated
A step-by-step walkthrough of the 20-minute weekly review I run every Sunday, with AI handling the summarizing and surfacing.
A weekly review only works if it's frictionless. Here's the exact sequence I run.
Step 1: Dump the week
I open my daily notes from the past seven days and paste them into one document. No editing, just raw material.
Step 2: Summarize with AI
I ask Claude: "Summarize the wins, the open loops, and anything I said I'd do but didn't." It returns a clean three-part summary.
Step 3: Triage open loops
For each open loop, I decide: do it, schedule it, delegate it, or drop it. AI drafts the next action for each.
Step 4: Set next week's intention
One sentence. What's the single most important thing for next week? I write it at the top of Monday's note.
Twenty minutes, every Sunday. That's the whole workflow.
