| Task | Days Stuck | Priority | Due Date |
|------|------------|----------|----------|
| [[Review PR 123]] | 4 days | high | 2026-01-15 |

Task Format

Tasks use wikilinks to reference task files:

• •Incomplete: - [ ] [[Task Name]]
• •Completed: - [x] [[Task Name]] ✅ 2026-01-13

Task files in 00_Inbox/Tasks/ have YAML frontmatter:

---
tags: [task]
status: open
priority: high
due: 2026-01-20
scheduled: 2026-01-15
---

Review Process

Step 1: Data Collection (automatic)

• •Scan daily notes from past 7 days
• •Extract task completion data (wikilinks)
• •Map which tasks appear on which days
• •Identify recurring incomplete tasks

Step 2: Task File Analysis

• •For each blocker task, read 00_Inbox/Tasks/{Task Name}.md
• •Extract priority, due date, scheduled date
• •Show context in blocker report

Step 3: Reflection (10 minutes)

• •Review wins and celebrate progress
• •Analyze challenges and extract lessons
• •Acknowledge blockers

Step 4: Planning (10 minutes)

• •Set ONE focus for next week
• •Identify 3-5 key tasks
• •Decide what to do with blockers

Best Practices

Consistent Timing

• •Same day each week (Sunday recommended)
• •Same time if possible
• •Treat as non-negotiable

Handle Blockers

For each blocker, decide:

• •Break down: Split into smaller tasks
• •Unblock: Identify and remove obstacle
• •Delegate: Assign to someone else
• •Drop: Remove if no longer important

Follow-through

• •Commit changes after review (/push)
• •Share highlights if relevant
• •Celebrate wins
