- 5 min
- review and adjust
- Open Insights, write one retrospective paragraph, pick one change.
The daily loop captures life as it happens. The weekly review is where you step back, read the pattern, and make one calm adjustment. Fifteen minutes once a week is enough to keep your whole system honest.

- A stretch of days blurred together and you want to make sense of them.
- You want to adjust your rings before drifting further off balance.
What Stays Private

Power-User Technique
Keep a running thread of weekly retrospectives. After a couple of months, reading them back is the clearest, most honest picture of how your life is actually trending — far better than any single metric.
Why This Matters
Without a weekly step back, daily capture becomes noise. The review is what turns evidence into direction and keeps small drifts from becoming big ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I skip a week?
Nothing breaks. Pick up the next week. The habit matters more than perfection.
Should I change my ring targets often?
Rarely. Adjust when a season genuinely changes — recovery, a new job, a hard stretch — not in reaction to a single week.
