How We Run a Weekly Review Without Drowning in Tools

The weekly review is the most underrated productivity habit there is. It's also the one most often abandoned because the system grows faster than the benefit.

The setup that lasted three years

1. Friday, 4pm. Thirty minutes. A paper notebook.
2. Left column: What shipped this week. Not what I worked on — what shipped.
3. Right column: What ships next week. Three things, no more.
4. One paragraph at the bottom: anything I want my future self to remember.

That's it. No apps. No tags. No backlog grooming. The whole point is the act of reflection — not the artefact.
