I just went through your Guided weekly review -"with help".. Wow! I think the comments are really well made to help me start thinking & declutter my mind
I'm so glad to hear that, really motivates me to add that extra touch of information to all future templates. If it was useful would you help me out by giving it a review on Gumroad? That way others can see it adds value.
@@toolsontech Yes, I hope you continue making such similar tools; as it definitely added value to my weekly review! (Doing right now, guess it'll take a couple of days to process my inbox lol) I tried creating an account, but I couldn't find an option for writing a review, I did rate it though. Is a star rating all you can give?
This couldn't have come at a beter time! I'll be using your template as an inspiration for improving my process. I'd highly appreciate your feedback for this problem: I have been doing a weekly review since past two years. I have found it extremely valuable in making 'Course corrections' in alignment with my goals. What i do is: 1. Write my highlights of the week (Fun & sweet) 2. Problems/ Worries (Problem= any goals not achieved) 3. Determine "what" caused the problem [I go through my daily journal & note the problem] - Long l process (or at least stressful as hell, if I don't do it in one go) 4. Think of a solution by Looking at all the "whats" and determine a common theme (Fun & short, as I write down all the causes in a separate page in step 3. 5. Decide a weekly goal & 6. Create calendar However, what I feared happened. I went without a weekly review the past 3-4 weeks & I feel just like the dude in the horse story. Now I have at least 4 weeks worth of journal entries to go through Any recommendations on where I should streamline this process? I like reading through my entries, but since there's so much emotional vomit sometimes- it's time-consuming to see just 'points' where I should focus on improving next week. Maybe using some sort of 'tag' inside my daily journal as #Improvehere would help? (which isn't possible in the current journaling app: Onenote...which is why I'm slowly shifting to Notion/Obsidian.
Marking things that are important is good step to make sure you're not missing anything. I'm familiar with the feeling of my weekly review being longer and longer away and my main advise is to "ignore" the past. So I would check the things marked important but doing my weekly review is more important then checking everything I missed. So I would only browse back for a week and the rest I would put under, if it's really important, it will come back to haunt me eventually, I can deal with it then. One of the main things I learned when I started keeping proper track of everything is that everyone else is constantly forgetting things. That bugged me to no end until I realized, I'm allowed to forget things as well and no one will complain about it. Well, unless it's the parachute midway a jump.
@@toolsontech "Allow yourself to ignore the past". Sounds like a great way to look at things 😃! You're right, even if I try to go through everything in my week;y review- I almost never look up most of the things I 're-discovered'. I'll try using tags to find important tid-bits in my weekly reviews easier.
I love how you add all those video references and the horse story! :D Keep it up, don't stop 🚀
Thanks for the motivation!
cool , thanks for the guide, keep it up too!
Sure thing!

I checked, it only allows for star ratings, that's too bad. Still huge thanks for helping me debug that. :)
Uh...I and I just saw you playing Magic Cards? :D Love you even more now haha
What self respecting nerd doesn't have Magic? For some reasons the MtG cards where a lot harder to place then the Uno cards I had lying around. 😬
