Task Format

Tasks use wikilinks to reference task files:

  • Incomplete: - [ ] [[Task Name]]
  • Completed: - [x] [[Task Name]] ✅ 2026-01-13

Task files in 00_Inbox/Tasks/ have YAML frontmatter:

---
tags: [task]
status: open
priority: high
due: 2026-01-20
scheduled: 2026-01-15
---

Review Process

Step 1: Data Collection (automatic)

  • Scan daily notes from past 7 days
  • Extract task completion data (wikilinks)
  • Map which tasks appear on which days
  • Identify recurring incomplete tasks

Step 2: Task File Analysis

  • For each blocker task, read 00_Inbox/Tasks/{Task Name}.md
  • Extract priority, due date, scheduled date
  • Show context in blocker report

Step 3: Reflection (10 minutes)

  • Review wins and celebrate progress
  • Analyze challenges and extract lessons
  • Acknowledge blockers

Step 4: Planning (10 minutes)

  • Set ONE focus for next week
  • Identify 3-5 key tasks
  • Decide what to do with blockers

Best Practices

Consistent Timing

  • Same day each week (Sunday recommended)
  • Same time if possible
  • Treat as non-negotiable

Handle Blockers

For each blocker, decide:

  • Break down: Split into smaller tasks
  • Unblock: Identify and remove obstacle
  • Delegate: Assign to someone else
  • Drop: Remove if no longer important

Follow-through

  • Commit changes after review (/push)
  • Share highlights if relevant
  • Celebrate wins
