Wellness context
What did sleep, energy, meals, movement, or mood look like across the week?
Focus and work
What received attention, what stayed unfinished, and what felt unnecessarily difficult?
Money and admin
Which purchases, bills, errands, or decisions need a follow-up?
People and memory
Which conversation, place, event, or small moment do you want to remember?

What is a weekly life review?
A weekly life review is a short summary of what happened, what repeated, what mattered, and what you want to continue or change. It connects separate daily entries without requiring a complicated dashboard.
How long should a weekly review take?
Keep the first review short enough to repeat. Answer the one-sentence summary, wins, difficult moments, repeated context, and next focus before adding optional detail.
What if I missed several daily logs?
Review the information you have. Use your calendar, photos, messages, receipts, or memory to rebuild only the details that still matter, without trying to create a perfect record.
How do I avoid reading too much into patterns?
Describe what appeared together and keep alternative explanations open. A personal log can suggest a question, but it does not prove that one event caused another.
Should I set several goals after each review?
Choose one useful focus when possible. A weekly review should reduce confusion, not create another long task list.
