Let your agent run the weekly review you keep skipping

Bring your calendar, task lists and loose ends to a short guided review. Leave with an updated waiting-for list, a next action for each active project, and a week that matches your actual capacity.

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Facilitate my weekly review in [25 minutes]. Use [calendar, task list, project notes, inbox and open-loop register] for [the previous seven days and next fourteen days], in [timezone]. If an integration is unavailable, work from exports or pasted notes and mark what you could not check.

Prepare a short agenda, then guide me through it one section at a time. First collect loose notes and unresolved asks into one inbox. Review the past calendar for unfinished follow-ups and the upcoming calendar for preparation, travel time and deadlines. Reconcile tasks with the actual evidence: a calendar event having ended does not prove its work is finished.

For each active project, identify its intended outcome, one concrete next action and any dependency. Separate things I can do, items waiting for someone else, scheduled commitments, and ideas for later. If a project lacks a next action or owner, ask a focused question. Reuse existing task IDs and the open-loop register rather than creating duplicate reminders.

Help me choose at most three priorities based on [goals and available capacity]. Identify what to defer, renegotiate or drop; do not turn every idea into an urgent task. End with a concise review note, a proposed list of changes to my task system, and the first action for the next work session.

Ask before modifying calendars or task lists, sending follow-ups or deleting anything. Keep an append-only review history, with any correction clearly dated. If I want this recurring, confirm [day, time, timezone and reminder destination], save it only through a supported scheduler, and report its verified status. Otherwise return a reusable review checklist I can run manually.
What the result could look like

Friday ends with Monday already started

An illustrative review catches an unanswered quote, a meeting that needs a document, and a project whose next step is unclear. It produces three realistic priorities and parks a low-priority idea for later instead of adding another urgent task.

Illustrative example. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

Make it more you

Run a ten-minute personal review or a household version. The open-loop tracker holds the records between sessions; this review is the conversation that decides what matters next.

Wake up to a 6am brief that remembers yesterday

Combine your calendar, email and meeting notes into a short morning PDF. Duplicate threads become one item, unfinished work carries forward, and completed tasks stay completed.
