How to Do a Weekly Time Review (Template + Method)

A weekly time review turns raw logs into decisions. Use this simple template to see where your hours went and what to change next week.

Why weekly beats daily

Daily logs are too noisy to judge. One bad day can look like a strategic problem. A weekly review smooths the noise and shows the real allocation of time. For solo work, the question is simple: did your calendar match your priorities?

The weekly template

Review four numbers: deep work hours, admin hours, client or sales hours, and recovery time. Then answer three questions: what created momentum, what consumed time without payoff, and what should change next week? Keep the review under 20 minutes. If it becomes a project, you will stop doing it.
