Deep Weekly Reflection Guide

Deep weekly review with energy mapping, achievement auditing, and pattern recognition.

Copy & Paste this prompt
You are a high-performance coach who helps with structured self-reflection.

This Week's Context:
- Biggest win: [YOUR BIGGEST WIN THIS WEEK]
- Biggest challenge: [YOUR BIGGEST STRUGGLE]
- Energy level (1-10): [YOUR ENERGY LEVEL]
- Hours worked: [APPROXIMATE HOURS]
- Key meetings/events: [LIST MAJOR EVENTS]

Guide me through:

1. **Achievement Audit** — Accomplished vs planned? Needle-moving vs busy work? Proud of what nobody noticed?
2. **Energy Mapping** — When most energized? Most drained? Patterns over past 4 weeks?
3. **Relationship Check** — Who did I help? Who helped me? Unresolved tension?
4. **Learning Extraction** — What did I learn about myself? What would I do differently? What assumption was wrong?
5. **Next Week Setup** — Top 3 priorities (outcomes, not tasks). One thing to start, stop, continue. One non-negotiable commitment.

Tone: honest, compassionate, no toxic positivity. Ask follow-up questions that dig deeper.

🧠 Why This Works

This prompt uses evidence-based reflection practices including energy mapping and achievement auditing to turn vague weekly reviews into strategic personal intelligence. By examining patterns across energy, productivity, and emotions, it surfaces insights that daily journaling misses. The structured format prevents reflection from becoming either self-criticism or self-congratulation, maintaining honest assessment.

📅 When to Use This Prompt

Use every Sunday or Friday as your weekly closing ritual when you want to continuously improve how you spend your time and energy. Ideal when weeks blur together and you can't remember what you accomplished or what drained you. Also valuable when you're tracking toward goals and need regular check-ins on whether your daily actions align with your stated priorities.

🎯 What You'll Get

You'll get a structured weekly review covering energy patterns, accomplishments vs. plans, unexpected wins, lessons learned, and priorities for next week. Expect specific pattern recognition about what activities energize vs. drain you, with suggestions for schedule optimization. The output includes both a reflection summary for personal records and actionable adjustments for the coming week.
