Workflow

Step 1 -- Review last week

Read the most recent weekly summary from your output folder/. Note:
- Open items carried forward
- Trends worth watching
- Decisions that need follow-up

Step 2 -- Check scheduled tasks

Read your scheduled tasks file. Identify:
- Tasks due this week (one-off with approaching due dates)
- Recurring tasks that run this week (Monday tasks, Friday tasks)
- Overdue tasks that haven't been completed

Step 3 -- Scan for Monday context

Check Slack for any weekend activity or early Monday threads that set the tone for the week.

Step 4 -- Draft the weekly plan

Produce a short, prioritised focus list.

Guidelines

• Keep it to 3 top priorities. More than that is no longer prioritised
• "Done" should be concrete, not vague ("Ship the email builder fix" not "Work on email builder")
• If last week's summary isn't available, work with what you have and note the gap
• This is a planning aid, not a command. The user decides the final priorities
