1 Unique Way To Create A Personalized Weekly Review

1 Unique Way To Create
A Personalized Weekly  Review

At the end of another work at home or away from home work week, you find yourself thinking: "Wow, this certainly was a great week!" 


And yet...


At the conclusion of another week it goes something like this: "Wow, this certainly was a 'near miss' disaster week!" 


Question: How do you capture the momentum of the good days or regain any sense of the same when things don't go so well?


Answer: I'm not totally sure!


But I am confident of this: a good, positive weekly review can assist you in:

• Capturing what went well,
• Helping you to refocus,
• Building for future success,
• And improving yourself or your business.

It is my desire that the weekly review you create will prove to be one of the many tools you use in your quest for excellence.


This  unique "tool in formation" is designed promote the following.

• Give yourself credit for "things done well"Allow you to creatively express your thoughts
• Keep you in a training/duplicating model.
• Pinpoint and attack success hindering attitudes or actions
• Rivet your attention on the next play of the game -- whatever you discover that play should be for the next week.  

And I say "Tool In Formation" because you will be promoted to design the review your way.  For instance, you might change the order, completely take a section out, create a new section, etc. 

My Week In Review: Your Tool In Formation

Section One: Discover What Went Well


Here I would suggest that you:

• Design a simple question to ask yourself each week that prompt reviewing your week up front from a positive point of view.  
Something simple such as: "What went well this week?" would be a good starter question to ask. 
• Create a "target number" to list.  For instance, if you wanted to "force" yourself to be more specific regarding the question suggested above, it could be: "What two things went well this week?" 

Section Two: Design A Small Step


Speaking personally or professionally...

• First, ask yourself a question like the following (either personally or professionally):
• "What small improvement could I make next week that -- if repeated consistently over time -- would benefit myself or those I influence in a unique way?

Then....answer your question!  


Section Three: "Story Time!"  


First, design a question to prompt a review aspects of your "story" for the week. 


By way of example, you could as ask: "Have I...

• Received any compliments,

• Heard of any positive results,
• Been motivated by someone's success,
• Or discovered any exciting facts...

That I should record to use in my business or note personally for any level of growth in my life?


Then... record your answer(s)!


Section Four: Check Out Those Patterns!


This is your "ruthless honesty" section.  Yes, it could be a bit brutal.  However,  it could also be very helpful. 


Being Ruthlessly Honest ask yourself something like the following.  The time frame could be anything. In the example below it is 90 days.  You might like it to be a week, a month or some other period of time.


The Question:  "If I repeated the way I worked this past week for the next 90 days, would it be a good or "not-so-good" thing for my business health?"


Then...

1. Identify any positive or negative pattern revealed by responding to the question.
2.  Decide to take an appropriate action: either to reinforce a great habit uncovered or demolish a destructive pattern in the making.  You choose: it's your review!  

Section Five: Journal!  


This is your "catch all."  Journal, take notes, draw diagrams, etc., etc.  Here you capture your "whatevers" and turn them into power units for such things as:

• Personal development
• Goal setting
• Time management
• Spiritual formation
• Building of family relationships
• Career enhancement
• Etc! 


**PrayingSimple**


"Lord, I have a simple request: in thinking about my week, I ask you to review it with me.  Help me to see what you desire me to see and follow where you would lead me both now and in my week ahead.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!"
