A weekly habit review asks what you planned, what happened and what you will change next. Use a short record of your actions, then choose one adjustment. Set aside about ten minutes as a practical starting point.
This worksheet works alone or with a friend. It complements daily check-ins by creating space to notice patterns across the week.
Bring a small amount of information
Gather your planned opportunities, recorded completions and any brief notes about the circumstances. Keep planned rest days separate from missed opportunities. If a record is missing, label it unknown so your review reflects what you actually know.
You can use a notebook, your challenge plan, or your own progress in Quests. Avoid collecting details about a partner that they have chosen to keep private.
Five questions for the review
- What action did I plan, and on which days?
- When did it fit naturally into my day?
- What interrupted or prevented it?
- Does the action still serve a reason I care about?
- What one change will I try next week?
Answer the questions before choosing a bigger target. Repeating a manageable plan may be more useful to you than increasing it every week.
A worked example
Suppose Sam planned to read for ten minutes on five evenings and recorded three completions. Two sessions followed dinner; one happened on a train. Late meetings disrupted the other evenings. Sam decides to keep the same duration and move the cue to the journey home when commuting.
The next week's question is whether that cue creates a usable opportunity. This illustrative example turns a count into a decision without treating one week as a test of character.
Copy your next-week note
Week reviewed: Action and planned opportunities: Completed / missed / unknown: What helped: What made it difficult: One adjustment: If this situation happens, I will: Support I want from my partner: Next review date:

Keep the conversation useful
Ask before offering advice. Recognize useful learning as well as completed days. If an action repeatedly fails to fit, consider changing the context, reducing the minimum or choosing a different action. Agree on the next experiment and write it down.
For the evidence behind recording progress, read progress monitoring and habits. For shared boundaries, use the accountability agreement.
