At the end of a shared challenge, review what happened and give each person a clear choice: continue, change the plan or finish here. Gather the records people agreed to share, then discuss what made the activity worth doing.
This is an end-of-round decision worksheet. The weekly review helps adjust a round while it is running. Here, the question is whether another round deserves a place in your life.
Close the existing round first
Write its start and finish dates, the agreed actions and any changes made along the way. Summarize completed, missed and unknown opportunities separately. Keep planned rest days visible. Invite people to correct their own records if the tool supports that.
Ask permission before compiling individual results into a group summary. Someone may prefer to discuss what they learned without sharing counts or personal explanations.
Ask four questions
- What did I enjoy or find worthwhile in the activity?
- Which part of the plan fitted my actual schedule?
- What did the group do that I want to keep or change?
- Would I choose another round now, with what commitment?
Give everyone a chance to answer before proposing the next round. A quiet reply, a written note or a later response may suit someone better than a group conversation.
A worked finish reflection
Imagine three friends completing a two-week drawing challenge with six planned sessions each. Imani records five completed and one missed. Finn records four completed, one missed and one unknown. Tess records six completed and says the updates took more time than expected.
Their decisions can differ. Imani repeats the same plan. Finn chooses shorter sessions on different days. Tess finishes the group round and keeps drawing privately. They thank one another for the shared practice and agree that a future invitation will leave room to decline.
The records describe this round. They give the friends something concrete to discuss; the example makes no prediction about future habits or results.
Write the next decision clearly
- Continue: keep the action and agree on fresh dates.
- Change: name the specific adjustment, such as the cue, duration or update rhythm.
- Finish: close the commitment and agree whether future invitations are welcome.
When only some participants continue, send a new invitation to that group. Keep the old round's results and dates intact. Everyone should know which commitment is currently active.
Copy the finish note

Download the finish reflection. A group can close with a specific acknowledgment, such as “Thanks for recommending a book I wanted to open” or “Your Sunday check-in helped me review my plan.”
