Weekly review
The weekly review is the one slightly-longer ritual in the method — a short retrospective plus a single goal for the week ahead. It’s where you celebrate progress, notice what’s stuck, and set direction without micromanaging.
The weekly note
Each ISO week has a weekly note with four sections:
- Wins — what moved (actions completed, evidence filed, projects advanced).
- Challenges — what got in the way.
- One Improvement — a single thing to change next week.
- This Week’s Goal — the week’s anchor: one goal everything else orbits.
View the current week’s note (or any week) any time:

cdno weekly --date 2026-04-20 # the week containing that date
The guided ritual
cdno review weekly walks you through it. Interactively, it prompts for
each retrospective section and writes them into this week’s note, then asks for next week’s goal
and sets it as the This Week’s Goal of next week’s note — so when the new week starts, its
anchor is already there.
cdno review weekly
Run non-interactively (or with --no-interactive), it reads the current note rather than prompting —
handy for scripts or a quick scan.
A weekly cadence that works
A simple routine, ~15 minutes:
cdno status— skim active projects and their top actions.cdno commitments --weeks 2— what’s due in the next fortnight?cdno stewardship list— any habit looking stale?cdno review weekly— capture Wins / Challenges / One Improvement, set next week’s goal.
The point isn’t a perfect record; it’s a regular moment to look up from the work, acknowledge what you did, and choose one direction. Parking a project or retiring a question here is a good outcome, not a failure.
With Claude
The MCP tools get_weekly_context, read_weekly_note, and upsert_weekly_section let an assistant
run the same review conversationally — reading your week back to you and writing the sections as you
talk. See Connect to Claude.
