The weekly review is something that has eluded me for a while, and I keep coming back to it as a really important part of living a deliberately good life. Here’s my review for last week:

Do this every week:

1. Upload week report screenshot
   1. Week’s points: 143 (all time best, due to attending all the neglected household duties that having our window replaced caused us to neglect)
   2. Week’s animal: hawk (high energy, high focus, low enjoyment, low stress).
2. Review my manifesto for enjoyable living
   1. Make your own meaning.
   2. Make your own advice, then take it.
   3. Have good intentions.
   4. Be your word.
   5. Do not dilly-dally.
   6. Do not feel sorry for yourself.
   7. Take time to make a vision worth striving for.
   8. Rally others with your vision.
   9. Tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
   10. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
   11. Stake your reputation on your better self.
   12. Take responsibility for the consequences of being who you are.
   13. Manage your stress, health, and clarity of mind.
   14. Enjoy things.
   15. Share.
   16. Study your mistakes.
   17. Retry things you don’t like or are afraid of every once in a while.
3. Review my projects, rate challenge versus skill
   1. TI (5 challenge, 5 skill: flow)
   2. Standards (4 challenge, 5 skill: control)
   3. Mirror Mirror (4 challenge, 3 skill: arousal)
   4. Locavore – neglected (5 challenge, 3 skill: arousal)
   5. AS – neglected (4 challenge, 2 skill: anxiety)
   6. Track Your Happiness (4 challenge, 4 skill: flow)
   7. 5 minute life stores – shelved for now
4. Review my goals
   1. Removed “plan something exciting for friends this summer”
   2. Added “finish Infinite Jest”
   3. Marked complete “start a fruit and vegetable garden”
5. Go through email to make sure I’m not forgetting anyone or anything – check
6. Review next week’s calendar – check
