Daily Productive Sharing 1233 - Ben Kuhn's Weekly Review Habit

Dr Selfie -

One helpful tip per day:)

Ben Kuhn shares how he approaches his weekly review:

  1. Every Saturday morning, he spends 3–4 hours reflecting on the past week and thinking about how to make the next one better.
  2. Morning matters because it provides the right energy and mindset; weekends matter because they’re free from work interruptions; consistency matters because it keeps the habit alive.
  3. Each week, he reflects using a set of fixed question prompts.
  4. Changing his physical environment helps him shift gears—moving from high-focus mode into a more relaxed, reflective state.
  5. When he has detailed, objective data (like RescueTime logs, calendars, or to-do lists), reviewing them is often helpful—sometimes revealing surprising insights.
  6. Taking notes during the reflection process is crucial for him—otherwise, he risks losing his train of thought or getting distracted.
  7. For note-taking, he recommends using layered lists rather than freeform paragraphs.

Ben Kuhn 介绍了他如何做每周的复盘：

  1. 每个星期六早上，他都会花 3-4 小时，反思一周的情况，并思考如何让下一周变得更好。
  2. 早晨很重要，因为那时有正确的能量和心态；周末很重要，因为不会被工作打扰；坚持很重要，因为这样他才能保持这个习惯。
  3. 他每周也会思考一组固定的问题提示。
  4. 改变物理环境可以帮助他进行情境切换，让他从高度专注转入更放松、反思的心态。
  5. 当他有详细客观数据时（比如 RescueTime 记录、日历、待办清单），他发现回顾这些数据很有帮助，因为它们有时会带来意外的发现。
  6. 在思考时做笔记对他来说非常重要——否则他容易失去思路，或者被打断。
  7. 关于记录方式，他建议使用分层的列表，而不是自由书写的长段落。
