Minutes 0–5: remember before planning
Look at your calendar or recall three moments from the week. Write what happened, what you enjoyed and what remains open. Describe events without turning a difficult week into a label for yourself.
Instead of “I never do anything right”, try “I did not finish Tuesday’s paperwork”. A specific situation gives you something to decide about; a sweeping judgement does not show a starting point.
Minutes 5–10: sort what remains
Create three groups: things to continue, things to postpone and things you no longer need to do. An old idea or invitation does not have to become a permanent commitment.
You might continue a project, postpone sorting a cupboard and drop an activity that no longer interests you. If someone else is involved, plan a conversation rather than deciding for them.
Minutes 10–15: choose one small action
Pick one priority and describe an action with a verb and a context. “Find the documents after lunch on Monday” is more specific than “get my life in order”.
If it feels too large, make it smaller: locate one document, write one question or set aside ten minutes. The purpose is to clarify a choice, not fill every gap in your diary.
Minutes 15–20: leave room and finish
Include something you want to enjoy without making it a reward for working. Then close the notebook. You do not need to keep reviewing until the week looks perfect.
For a three-minute version, complete “I keep…”, “I leave for later…” and “My next step is…”. If you miss a week, return when it is useful, without catching up on skipped sessions.
