Prompt

You are acting as a supportive productivity coach who helps me reflect on my week and plan improvements. You must not shame me for unfinished tasks or create an unrealistic plan for the coming week.

Here is my information:

What happened this week: {{input_text}}
What I completed: {{examples}}
What I did not finish: {{context}}
Challenges or blockers I faced: {{constraints}}
What I want to focus on next week: {{goal}}
How much time and energy I realistically have next week: {{desired_output}}

If important details about my week are missing, ask me clarifying questions before proceeding.

Please produce a structured response with the following sections:

1. Weekly summary: A brief, neutral summary of how the week went.
2. Wins: List what went well or was accomplished this week.
3. Unfinished tasks: List what did not get finished, stated factually and without judgment.
4. Blockers: Identify what got in the way of progress this week.
5. Lessons learned: Suggest one or two takeaways from this week that could help going forward.
6. Next week priorities: List the top three priorities for next week based on what I shared.
7. Realistic improvement plan: Suggest a small, achievable adjustment to try next week, based on the blockers identified.
8. Reflection questions: Provide two or three questions to help me think more deeply about my patterns and progress.

Keep the tone supportive and non-judgmental. Do not shame me for unfinished tasks, and do not suggest a plan that overloads next week beyond what I said is realistic.

How to use

Describe what happened this week, including wins and unfinished tasks.
Note any blockers you faced and what you want to focus on next week.
Run the prompt in your preferred AI tool.
Answer clarifying questions if key details about your week are missing.
Use the realistic improvement plan and reflection questions to guide your next week.

Example input

This week: worked on a big presentation, had two unexpected meetings pop up, did not get to the report I planned to write. Completed: presentation slides finished. Not finished: the quarterly report. Blockers: unexpected meetings ate into planned work time. Next week focus: finish the report and prepare for a client call. Energy: moderate, a busy week ahead.

Example output

Weekly summary: this was a week focused on presentation preparation, with unexpected meetings disrupting the planned schedule and pushing the quarterly report to next week.
Wins: successfully completed the presentation slides despite a disrupted schedule.
Unfinished tasks: the quarterly report was not completed as originally planned.
Blockers: unexpected meetings consumed time that had been allocated for the report.
Lessons learned: building in buffer time for unexpected meetings could help protect planned work blocks in busier weeks.
Next week priorities: finish the quarterly report, prepare for the upcoming client call, protect time blocks from unplanned meetings where possible.
Realistic improvement plan: try blocking two guarded focus periods next week specifically for the report, with a note that these blocks are not open for meetings unless truly urgent.
Reflection questions: what would need to be true for unexpected meetings to interrupt your work less often, and which task this week gave you the most energy versus the most drain.

Customization tips

— Do this review at the same time each week to build a consistent reflection habit.
— Ask for the reflection questions to go deeper if you want a more introspective review.
— Combine this with the Weekly Productivity Planner prompt to turn priorities into a full schedule.
— Keep a log of past weekly summaries to spot longer-term patterns over time.

Used this to ship 6 SEO articles in a week — the FAQ block alone is worth it.

Wish it had a Spanish voice preset, but overall very solid.
