## Overview
Weekly reviews are the single highest-leverage productivity habit and the one most people abandon because it's tedious. A Claude Project loaded with your week's notes + a strict review rubric does the tedious part; you make the decisions.

## How it works
1. You dump all your week's notes (meeting notes, journals, project updates) into a Claude Project as attached files.
2. A saved prompt walks Claude through your review rubric: open loops, incomplete decisions, delegation candidates, energy patterns.
3. Claude produces a structured review draft: what happened, what's still open, three priorities for next week.
4. You spend 20 minutes editing the draft into your real plan instead of 90 minutes building it from scratch.

## Benefits
- Cuts weekly review from 90 min to 20 min.
- Catches open loops you'd forget about.
- The pattern of your week becomes visible — energy, blockers, wins.

## Use cases
- Solo operators running GTD or PARA.
- Managers who need to close the week before family time.
- Coaches preparing client reviews.

## Step-by-step
### Step 1: Standardize where notes live
One folder per week. If notes are scattered across 5 tools, this workflow won't work — consolidation is prerequisite.

### Step 2: Write the review rubric once
Open loops, decisions made, decisions deferred, delegation candidates, energy patterns, next-week priorities. Version it in the project.

### Step 3: Attach files, don't paste
Files are re-readable across chats in the project. Pastes disappear after the chat.

### Step 4: Run the saved prompt
'Produce this week's review per the rubric. Cite the note where each item comes from.' Citations make editing fast.

### Step 5: Edit, don't accept
The AI draft is a scaffold, not a plan. Editing it is the review — that's the point.

## Example
```
Review draft: 'Open loops: 1) Vendor renewal decision by Fri (see 2026-06-13 meeting notes). 2) Q3 hire brief still unwritten. Priorities next week: 1) Ship pricing test. 2) Close vendor. 3) Draft brief.'
```

## FAQs
**Isn't this just replacing thinking with AI?**

It's replacing rote extraction with AI, and reserving human judgment for prioritization — the part that actually needs you.

**Which Claude tier?**

Pro is enough for a solo review. Team if you want to share the project template across a leadership group.

**How long a horizon works?**

Weekly is the sweet spot. Monthly reviews are better done from the weekly outputs, not raw notes.
