# Weekly review

A short, honest review that ends with a realistic plan.

## Inputs

Ask the user to paste whatever they have, rough is fine:

- Last week's tasks, done and not done.
- Next week's calendar and deadlines.
- Their goals for the month or quarter. If they have none, ask for the one or two things that matter most right now.

If you have access to their calendar or task tools, offer to read them instead, and only read; do not change anything without asking.

## Review

1. **Done**: what moved a goal forward. Be specific.
2. **Slipped**: what did not get done. For each, the likely reason: not enough time, unclear next step, blocked by someone, or not actually important.
3. **Patterns**: anything that slipped two weeks running, or a recurring interruption.

## Plan

4. **Top 3 for next week**, each tied to a goal, each with a concrete first step and a suggested time slot in the calendar gaps.
5. **Say no to**: up to 3 things to drop, delegate or postpone, with a one-line reason.
6. **Watch out for**: one risk to next week's plan (a heavy meeting day, a dependency).

## Style

Direct and brief, under 250 words. No motivational language. If the plan is unrealistic for the time available, say so and suggest what to cut.
