Weekly Summary Generator

Generate comprehensive weekly summaries from daily notes, Asana tasks, and project progress.

When to Use

• •Friday afternoon/evening - summarize the week's work
• •Before weekly meetings or status reports
• •At week boundary for project tracking
• •When asked to create weekly report

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Target Week

Default: Current week (today's date)

Calculate week number: YYYY-WXX format

• •Week starts Monday, ends Sunday
• •Use ISO 8601 week numbering

Step 2: Gather Source Data

Read from:

1. •

   Daily Notes - Box/Obsidian-Vault/Projects/{project}/daily/

   • •Files: YYYY-MM-DD.md for the target week
   • •Extract: Tasks, progress notes, blockers
2. •

   Asana Tasks - Documents/Projects/{project}/asana-tasks-view.md

   • •Sync status and completed tasks
3. •

   User Input - Ask for:

   • •Major accomplishments not in daily notes
   • •Upcoming priorities
   • •Blockers or risks

Step 3: Generate Summary

Use this template structure:

# {Project} Weekly Summary {YYYY-WXX}

## Period: {YYYY/MM/DD} - {YYYY/MM/DD}

## This Week's Accomplishments
- [ ] 

## Work In Progress
- [ ] 

## Blockers & Risks
- 

## Next Week's Plan
- [ ] 

## Notes
- 

---
tags: #weekly #{project} #summary

Step 4: Save to Vault

Save location:

Box/Obsidian-Vault/Projects/{project}/weekly/{Project}-Weekly-{YYYY-WXX}.md

Create weekly/ folder if it doesn't exist.

Step 5: Update Project Index

Add link to weekly summary in:

Box/Obsidian-Vault/Projects/{project}/00_{Project}-Index.md

Under "Weekly Summaries" section.

Best Practices

4. •Update index: Always link from project index page
5. •Use tags: Add relevant tags for filtering
