I used to end every week the same way: exhausted, scattered, and wondering where the time went.
No reflection. No adjustment. Just stumble into the next week and repeat.
Then I started doing weekly reviews. And I finally started improving instead of just surviving.
Every Friday at 4 PM, I review my week using Deep Focus analytics.
Step 1: Check the numbers (5 min)
Step 2: Review the heatmap (5 min)
Step 3: Identify what worked (5 min)
Step 4: Adjust for next week (5 min)
Week 1: I focus best 9-11 AM. Afternoons are a wash.
Adjustment: Moved all deep work to mornings. Afternoons for meetings and admin.
Week 4: My "General Work" profile has too many escape routes.
Adjustment: Switched to whitelist mode. Blocked everything except essentials.
Week 8: Friday afternoons are dead zones. Zero focus.
Adjustment: Stopped scheduling deep work on Fridays after 2 PM.
Without reviews, you repeat the same mistakes forever.
With reviews, you improve every week. Small adjustments compound.
20 minutes of reflection saves hours of wasted effort.
Answer these every Friday. And watch your focus improve week after week.
You can't improve what you don't review. Make it a ritual.
