Why this is hard

A blank page asks you to choose the content, structure and tone at the same time. A draft can separate those choices. Start with the audience, the piece you need and one real example. You can then check the wording without having to invent the whole structure first.

For reviews & reflection, start by describing the part that is awkward in your own words. A broad goal can contain several different tasks. Choose the one you want to draft now, then add the obstacle and the time you can spend. You do not need a complete story to begin.

You can skip a question that does not fit. An unanswered detail should stay unknown. If you want a different tone, choose Plain English or change your own description before using the draft. The structure comes from the topic; the facts should come from you.

What good looks like

Read each draft aloud if that helps. Check that it says what you mean, uses only facts you supplied and leaves out claims you cannot support. A polished sentence is not necessarily the right sentence. Change anything that does not sound like you before copying it elsewhere.

Weekly review template

You get a fill-in template for weekly review template: headings and prompts in each blank, so a first version takes one sitting. Because time is the pinch, the template is built to be used in short sittings: AI drafts weekly review template first, and you spend your minutes correcting rather than starting from blank. Because you also named not sure where to start, it starts with one clear question. Plan to have a first version in place this month and review it once.

Template
Weekly review template
Goal: [one sentence — e.g. Make steady progress without it taking over my week]
Why it matters now: [your reason]
What gets in the way: [not enough time and not sure where to start]
First step (20 min): [action]
Who or what can help: [person, tool or resource]
Check-in date: [date]

This example uses made-up answers (goal: steady progress; obstacles: time and knowing where to start). Yours is built from your own answers.

What we'll ask you

  1. Do you review your week or month?
  2. What would you want a review to tell you?
  3. How much time could a review take?

Questions

What should I tell it before asking for a draft?

Give the purpose, intended audience, tone and one example from your own situation. You can skip details you do not want to share. The standard plan uses the answers available; a missing answer is not permission to invent facts.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Treat the text as a draft, not a final decision. Read it, correct the details and keep the parts that fit. You can choose Plain English and supply a different example when the first wording does not reflect what you meant.

Do I need a card or every answer?

No card is needed for the standard plan. Every area is available, and you can skip questions. Begin with the piece you want to work on rather than sharing information simply to fill a box. Voice options depend on your browser.
