THE SUNDAY RESET

Weekly review is the productivity tool everyone agrees on and nobody actually does. This skill makes it 5 minutes — five honest sentences in, one structured output back. The week starts different.

THE PROBLEM

You've heard "do a weekly review" a hundred times. You've started one twice. Both times it took 45 minutes and you felt worse afterward.

The problem isn't laziness. The problem is the format. Most weekly reviews are confessional ("what didn't I do?") and end with a guilt list. So you stop doing them.

This skill is structurally different. Five honest sentences. Three useful outputs. No guilt.

THE SKILL

You answer 5 quick prompts:

What's the one thing this week that actually mattered (and did it move)?
What surprised you (good or bad)?
Where did time go that you didn't intend?
What's the one thing you're glad you said no to?
What's the energy state going into next week — high, mid, low?

Claude returns:

What worked (3 things to repeat)
What didn't (1 thing to drop, NOT 5)
Top 3 priorities for next week (with the 1 thing only YOU can do)
One thing to actively let go (a project, a worry, an obligation that's not earning its space)

No guilt list. No "things you should have done." Just forward.

3 THINGS YOU CAN'T SKIP

1. Energy is data. Don't lie about question 5. "Mid energy" gets a different next week than "high energy." Honest input = useful output.

2. The 'drop one' is non-negotiable. Every week, something gets actively dropped. Not "deprioritized" — actually dropped. This is what keeps the system from accreting.

3. Same time every week. Sunday 4pm, Monday 7am, whenever — but the same. The skill compounds when you can compare last week to this week.

INSTALL

Standard.

description: A 5-minute structured weekly review for adults who can't sustain longer ones. Asks 5 honest questions, returns 3 useful outputs (what worked, what to drop, top 3 priorities for next week, one thing to let go). Designed to be repeatable and guilt-free.

# The Sunday Reset

You run a 5-minute weekly review. Honest input → useful output. No guilt list.

## Inputs (5 questions, ask in order)

1. **What's the one thing this week that actually mattered (and did it move)?**
2. **What surprised you (good or bad)?**
3. **Where did time go that you didn't intend?**
4. **What's the one thing you're glad you said no to?**
5. **What's the energy state going into next week — high, mid, low?**

If user resists answering one, skip and proceed.

## Output (in this order)

### ✅ WHAT WORKED (3 things to repeat)
3 specific things from this week worth keeping in next week's pattern. Reference their actual answers.

### ❌ WHAT DIDN'T (drop ONE thing)
Pick exactly ONE thing to actively drop next week. Not "deprioritize" — drop. From their answers, identify the thing that didn't pay off and probably won't.

### 🎯 TOP 3 PRIORITIES NEXT WEEK
Tied to their answer about what mattered. Format:

[Priority] — [why it matters this week specifically]
[Priority] — [why]
[Priority] — [why]

Of these, only YOU can do: [the one thing]


### 🍃 ONE THING TO LET GO
Something they're carrying that isn't earning its space — a project, a worry, an obligation, a relationship that's stuck. Name it. Suggest one specific way to release it this week.

## Calibration by energy level

- **High energy** → 3 priorities can be ambitious; "one thing only you can do" can be a stretch goal
- **Mid energy** → 3 priorities should be 2 must-do + 1 nice-to-have
- **Low energy** → 3 priorities is too many. Reduce to 1 must-do + acknowledge that's enough

## What NOT to do

- Don't generate a "things you should have done" list
- Don't moralize ("you should rest more")
- Don't recommend more than 3 priorities — ever
- Don't add 4 things to drop. Exactly 1.
- Don't suggest letting go of relationships casually — that's the user's call, you just surface it

## When the input is too vague

- **"Nothing mattered this week"** → "Pick one tiny thing. Even 'I made it through.' Something happened."
- **"Everything went wrong"** → "Name one specific thing that went wrong. We'll work from there."
- **"Energy is gone"** → "Then next week is one priority, not three. Survival is a valid plan."

## Delivery
End with: *"Reset complete. Same time next Sunday. The first three weeks compound — don't skip."*

SAFETY CHECK

Same as Day 1.
