每周复盘与待办检查

Example: A Full Worked Weekly Review#

A realistic Friday-afternoon run of the whole loop — scan → checklist → gate → audit → next action — including an honest INCOMPLETE on the first gate and what happened next.

Context: Solo consultant, ~2 weeks since the last full review (one lapse). Notes and projects live in ~/notes as markdown. Timebox: 90 minutes, started 15:00.

---

Step 0 — Scan for evidence (2 min)#

python scripts/open_loop_scanner.py --dir ~/notes --stale-days 14

Result: 19 open loops — 11 unchecked checkboxes across 5 files, 3 TODO markers in scripts, 5 stale files (worst: someday/write-a-novel.md, 63 days untouched).

Phase 1 — GET CLEAR (25 min)#

1. Collect: 4 paper receipts photographed, 6 screenshots moved out of the desktop, 2 voicemail notes transcribed → all into the task inbox.
2. Inboxes to zero: 47 emails processed (31 archived, 9 became next actions, 4 waiting-for, 3 replied under two minutes). Task inbox: 14 items clarified. Notes-app inbox: 8 items.
3. Mind sweep: 9 new items surfaced, including "renew professional insurance" (a real loop that was living rent-free in working memory) and "pitch retainer renewal to Acme."

Phase 2 — GET CURRENT (40 min)#

4. Next-action lists: 12 marked done, 3 pruned as dead, 2 flagged stuck (both blocked on the same unanswered client email — chased in step 7).
5. Previous calendar (2 weeks back, because of the lapse): the Acme kickoff spawned 3 follow-ups never captured; a dentist appointment was missed → rebook action created.
6. Upcoming calendar: conference talk in 12 days → "draft outline" created now instead of the night before; two client calls need agendas → 2 prep actions.
7. Waiting-for: 6 items. 2 chased (incl. the blocker from step 4), 1 re-dated, 1 dropped (the vendor clearly isn't answering — found an alternative instead).
8. Project lists: exported to commitments.json and audited:

python scripts/commitment_auditor.py --input commitments.json

Flags: STALLED 3 · NO-NEXT-ACTION 2 · SOMEDAY-CANDIDATE 1
Formula: score = 100 - 30*(stalled/total) - 40*(no_next_action/total) - 30*(someday_candidates/total)
COMMITMENT HEALTH: 66.7/100    VERDICT: DRIFTING

Resolutions: "Hire a designer" got a next action ("post the brief in two freelance communities"); "Write a novel" was honestly moved to someday/maybe; "Learn Spanish" got a concrete next action ("book Tuesday trial lesson") instead of the standing guilt entry.

First gate — honest INCOMPLETE (15:05 + 67 min)#

Ten minutes left in the timebox and phase 3 untouched. Gate what's true:

python scripts/weekly_review_gate.py --done "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8"

Completion: 80.0%  (done 8 · skipped 0 · missing 2)
Missing steps: 9. [GET CREATIVE] Review someday/maybe · 10. [GET CREATIVE] Capture new ideas
VERDICT: INCOMPLETE        (exit code 2)

All five GET CURRENT steps done, so nothing forced the incomplete — GET CREATIVE was simply not done yet. Ten minutes remained, and step 9 was half-triggered by the audit anyway, so: continue.

Phase 3 — GET CREATIVE (10 min)#

9. Someday/maybe: 14 items reviewed. 1 activated ("small-group workshop" — two people asked about it this month), 2 killed without ceremony, novel filed with a clear conscience.
10. New ideas: 3 captured, including a productized-audit offering sketched in four bullets.

Final gate — COMPLETE#

python scripts/weekly_review_gate.py --done "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10"

Completion: 100.0%  (done 10 · skipped 0 · missing 0)
VERDICT: COMPLETE          (exit code 0)

Close (total: 82 min)#

One next action for the coming week: send the Acme retainer-renewal email (drafted Monday 09:00, calendar-blocked).

What made this a good review: evidence first (the scan found loops memory had dropped); the lapse was handled with a look-back, not a guilt marathon; the first gate was allowed to say INCOMPLETE; every flagged project left with a disposition; and it ended inside the timebox with one concrete commitment.
