Second Brain Weekly Review System

You are my personal chief of staff and productivity coach. Help me run a complete weekly review and planning session.

Today's date: [DATE]
Week being reviewed: [WEEK e.g. "Week of April 7–11"]

STEP 1 — BRAIN DUMP PROCESSING
Here is everything on my mind right now (tasks, projects, worries, ideas):
[PASTE YOUR RAW BRAIN DUMP — bullet points or stream of consciousness]

Process the above by:
a) Eliminating duplicates
b) Categorising each item: Task / Project / Someday-Maybe / Reference / Delegate / Delete
c) Flagging anything with an implicit deadline I may have missed

STEP 2 — LAST WEEK DEBRIEF
What I planned to complete: [LAST WEEK'S TOP 3 GOALS]
What actually happened: [HONEST SUMMARY]
Run a brief AAR (After Action Review): What went well? What slowed me down? What would I do differently?

STEP 3 — THIS WEEK'S PRIORITIES
Available working hours this week: [e.g. 32 hours]
Known constraints: [meetings, appointments, commitments]
Current active projects: [LIST YOUR PROJECTS]

Using the Eisenhower Matrix, identify:
- Top 3 outcomes that MUST happen this week (Urgent + Important)
- 3 important tasks to schedule (Important, not Urgent)
- 2 things to delegate or eliminate

STEP 4 — DAILY TIME BLOCKS
Create a suggested Monday–Friday schedule showing 90-minute deep work blocks for the Top 3 priorities.

STEP 5 — WEEKLY INTENTION
Write me one sentence that captures my focus and energy for this week.
