Five questions for the end of your week.
Ten quiet minutes. Five honest answers.
In short
A useful weekly reflection takes about ten minutes and five questions: What gave me energy this week? Who did I really listen to? What did I do only because it was loud? What will I stop next week? What am I grateful for, and did I say it? Answer them on Sunday evening, in writing.
What gave me energy this week?
Do more of it. On purpose.
Energy is the most honest signal of what fits your life. Write down one or two moments, then plan one of them again for next week.
Who did I really listen to?
Not just hear. Listen.
This question shows where your attention for people actually went. If no name comes to mind, choose someone to call this week.
What did I do only because it was loud?
Urgent and important are rarely the same thing.
Loud tasks push themselves forward; important ones wait quietly. Name one loud task and ask whether it needed you at all.
What will I stop next week?
One thing is enough.
Reflection only changes something when it ends in a decision. Pick a single thing to stop and write it where you will see it on Monday.
What am I grateful for, and did I say it?
Gratitude kept to yourself is only half done.
Gratitude grows when it is shared. If you have not said it yet, send a short message tonight.
Save this for Sunday evening.

Questions people ask
What questions should I ask in a weekly review?
Keep it short: what gave you energy, who you really listened to, what you did only because it felt urgent, what you will stop next week and what you are grateful for.
How long should a weekly reflection take?
About ten minutes is enough. A short reflection you actually do every week is worth more than a long one you skip.
When is the best time for a weekly reflection?
Sunday evening works well because the week is complete and the next one has not started yet. Any fixed, quiet slot works.
