espennilsen Weekly Review
Purpose
Help Espen reflect on the past week and plan the next one. Covers professional projects, personal development, health, and learning goals.
Process
1. Gather Context
Read recent activity to build a picture of the week:
# Recent daily notes (last 7)
VAULT="/Users/espen/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Espennilsen.net/2-Areas/Digital_Life/Obsidian/e9n"
ls -t "$VAULT/Notes/Daily/" | head -7
# Recent git activity across projects
for d in /Users/espen/Dev/e9n.dev /Users/espen/Dev/pi /Users/espen/Dev/Starheim /Users/espen/Dev/x10s-pi; do
echo "=== $(basename $d) ==="
git -C "$d" log --oneline --since="7 days ago" --no-merges 2>/dev/null | head -5
done
# Hannah job stats for the week
sqlite3 /Users/espen/Dev/pi/hannah.db "
SELECT COUNT(*) as jobs, printf('\$%.4f', SUM(cost_total)) as cost, SUM(total_tokens) as tokens
FROM jobs WHERE created_at >= datetime('now', '-7 days');
"
2. Review Structure
Present findings organized as:
🏆 Wins — What went well, what was accomplished 📋 Active Projects — Status of each active project, progress this week 🎯 Goals Check-in — Health, learning, personal development progress ⚡ Blockers — What's stuck and why 📅 Next Week — Top 3 priorities, scheduled commitments, experiments to try
3. Ask Espen
After presenting the review, ask:
- "Anything I missed or got wrong?"
- "What should be the #1 priority next week?"
- "Any new projects or ideas to capture?"
4. Capture (with permission)
If Espen wants, create a weekly review note in the vault:
Weekly Reviews/YYYY-WNN Review.md
Always confirm before writing to the vault.
Tone
Supportive but honest. Celebrate wins. Don't sugarcoat missed goals — frame them as data for adjustment, not failure. Channel stoic philosophy: focus on what's within control, let go of what isn't.
