Where is the weekly review in today?

Navigate to /week from the main navigation. The weekly rollup shows the last 7 days of planning data in a summary format.

Can I view weeks further back than the last 7 days?

The current weekly view shows the last 7 days. Longer-term history is stored and will be surfaced in a future history view.

Does today calculate a weekly productivity score?

No. today shows raw data and leaves interpretation to you. Productivity scores tend to oversimplify complex patterns and can be demotivating when they don't reflect effort accurately.

How long should a weekly review take using today?

10–15 minutes covers a thorough review of the weekly data plus a light planning pass for the coming week. The data density in today's weekly rollup is high enough to make longer reviews rarely necessary.

Review your week with real data, not vague impressions

today's weekly rollup surfaces 7 days of planning data — blocks, sessions, commitments, energy, friction — in one view so you can learn from the week and plan the next.

Why a data-driven weekly review beats gut-feel retrospectives

Most weekly reviews are gut-feel exercises: you try to remember how the week went and write down impressions. today's weekly rollup replaces impressions with data. You see planned vs. completed minutes for each day, commitment streak status, energy and headspace readings, friction category distribution, session counts, and reflection text — all for the past seven days in a single view. With that data, the weekly review question changes from 'how did it feel?' to 'what do the numbers show?' The feeling-based question is too easy to game; the data-based question requires honest engagement.

The key weekly metrics to review

There are five weekly metrics worth examining in today. Done-vs-planned ratio tells you how well your daily plans matched your actual execution capacity. Commitment streak distribution tells you which habits are holding and which are slipping. Energy pattern across days reveals whether your week structure is supporting your best cognitive work. Friction category frequency shows your systemic blockers. Session count vs. planned blocks shows how often planned work became actual work. None of these metrics is a grade — each is a question generator. Why was Thursday done-vs-planned so low? What was different about the Tuesday high-energy day?

Using the weekly review to design next week

The output of a good weekly review isn't just retrospective insight — it's next-week design. If this week's energy data shows you peak mid-morning Tuesday and Wednesday, those windows become your deep work blocks next week. If this week's friction data shows meeting overload on Mondays, you start protecting Monday afternoon as a no-meeting window. If a commitment broke three times this week, either the commitment needs to be redesigned or the conditions enabling it need to change. The weekly review in today is naturally forward-facing because the data is already action-oriented.

The weekly review as a mental health practice

There's a psychological dimension to weekly reviews that productivity frameworks underemphasize. Closing the week explicitly — naming what you did, acknowledging what you didn't, and deciding consciously what carries forward — reduces the vague background anxiety of unfinished business that accumulates without closure. today's weekly view, reviewed for 10 minutes on Friday afternoon, creates a mental separation between the work week and the weekend. That separation is what makes the weekend actually restorative rather than a period of half-distracted recovery.
