Weekly Planning

Step 2.5 — Review Quarterly Plan

• Identify which Q goals are most relevant this week — especially any with time pressure or early-quarter milestones
• Flag anything with a hard deadline inside the next two weeks
• Note where this week falls in the quarter (e.g. W1 of Q2 = foundation-setting week)

Step 3 — Ask the User (all at once, numbered list)

1. Any travel, special on-site days, or appointments not on the calendar yet?
2. Anything from last week that must land this week?
3. Energy outlook — anything coming in hot (deadline, drained, etc.)?
4. What do you want to make for dinner this week? Any fridge items that need to be used up?

Step 4 — Identify Day Load

• Mark Mon/Wed as on-site (no reason needed)
• Any other on-site day: note the reason inline, e.g. On-site (April Chapel 15:00)
• Score each day: light / moderate / heavy based on calendar density
• Flag Tenacity-heavy days — acknowledge real cost, don't minimize it

Step 5 — Meal Plan

Plan 3 dinners + 1 lunch:

• Breakfast burritos are a weekly staple — default Sunday night. Assume Sunday unless user moves them. Do not ask about them.
• Dinner 2 & 3: Use whatever the user named in Step 3. Assign to cook nights (Tue/Fri/Sat-or-Sun per Rhythms). Match to day load — don't put a complex dinner on a heavy evening.
• Lunch: Something quick to batch on a light at-home day (Tue/Thu/Fri) — examples: chili dogs, tacos, sloppy joes. Cook enough for several lunches.
  • Schedule the cook on the first at-home day of the week
• Nights with Bible Study (Mon), Youth Group (Thu), or Lighthouse events are typically too busy to cook — plan accordingly without asking.

Step 6 — Weekly Goals

• Choose a weekly theme/focus (one phrase)
• Top 3–5 goals, split by area:
  • FOTF — day job goals (separate from Lighthouse)
  • Lighthouse — side project goals
  • Personal — health, relationships, faith, home
• Include a prayer/spiritual focus for the week
• Distribute goals to specific days, matching load and energy

Step 7 — Day-by-Day Radar

For each day, compile:

• On-site status + key meetings
• Goal(s) assigned to that day
• Dinner / lunch for that day

Step 8 — Write the Weekly Note

Create or update Weekly/YYYY-WXX.md using the structure below.

• Week number starts on Sunday (ISO: use Monday-based ISO week, but label the note for the Sunday start)
• Never overwrite sections the user has already written
• Append or fill only sections that are missing

Notes

• FOTF (Focus on the Family) and Lighthouse are separate projects — never conflate them
• Working Genius frustration types: Wonder and Tenacity — acknowledge real resistance on Tenacity tasks
• OmniFocus captures are loaded incrementally; note count when surfacing inbox items
• Do NOT add meals or cooking to the calendar — calendar is hard landscape only (appointments and meetings)
