Your weekly review

Your weekly review turns individual handoffs into a way of working you can repeat. Look at what actually happened: which results you used, where you had to step in, and what deserves another attempt.

You do not need a dashboard to begin. A few notes and the work itself are enough.

Choose your cue

Use an existing weekly planning session or the moment you close out your workweek. Make the review specific: When I plan next week, I will review the work I handed off this week.

Gather two or three examples. Include an imperfect result if you have one. It can show you what needs a clearer brief, a better source, or a different review step.

Review what was useful

For each example, answer:

• What did I want to accomplish?
• What did my employee return?
• What did I actually use or apply?
• What did I need to correct?

Keep any claimed time savings modest and grounded in your own record. An estimate is still an estimate. A good result may also mean fewer forgotten details or a decision you could make with more confidence.

Make this request your own

Help me review these handoffs from this week: [add examples and what I used]. Group them into useful to repeat, needs a change, and not worth repeating yet. Explain your reasoning from the examples. Do not invent results or time savings.

Improve one repeated problem

Choose the issue that appears most often. If drafts are too long, share one example of the right length. If details are missing, name the source that should be checked. If an action exceeded the brief, restate the boundary before another attempt.

Use Teach your preferences to make feedback concrete. Confirm how a preference will be retained in your setup; do not assume that one correction changes every future task.

Choose next week’s repeat

Pick one job that was useful enough to do again. Record its next occasion, required inputs, expected result, and your review step. Repeat a job helps you make that handoff reusable.

Repeating a job manually is a valid starting point. If you want scheduled work, confirm that it is available and configured for your employee before relying on it.

If little happened this week

Review the obstacle instead. Was there no relevant work, missing access, an unclear request, or a result you could not trust? Choose one next step. Bring persistent issues to support and use your monthly review to decide whether the overall approach needs to change.
