Weekly check-in

Spend about ten minutes on a useful record of the week. Short, specific notes are enough.

Week of / business or team shorthand

Wins: what improved or was completed?

Lessons: what did you learn from something that did not work?

Customer signals: repeated questions, feedback, requests, or friction

What changed this week, and what problem needs attention?

Stop / start / continue: one practical change in each

Next priority / first action / owner / date

Decisions to remember

Record why you made a decision so you can revisit it with context instead of relying on memory.

Example: pause a campaign because inquiries were outside the intended audience. Revisit after updating the message and reviewing the next month of inquiries. Keep facts separate from assumptions.
