Short summary
A weekly review works best as a short, fixed routine. Pick the same 30 minutes every week, start by clearing your inboxes, then look back at what happened and what got stuck. Finish by choosing three priorities for the coming week. Keep the review in one place, so each week builds on the last instead of starting from zero.
Written to show what you can ask for. Agent works from the captions you save, so results follow your video and your request.
