Periodic reflection routines — weekly (casual), monthly (structured by life areas), yearly (freeform). Use when Junaid wants to reflect, review progress, or do a sync.
Three cadences, three styles.
When: End of week (Sunday evening works well) Style: Casual, conversational
Ask open-ended questions:
Keep it light. This is a check-in, not an interrogation.
Output: Capture highlights in daily note or Notes/Reflections/Weekly/YYYY-WW.md
When: Last day of month or first day of next Style: Structured around four life pillars
Prompt reflections in each area:
Output: Notes/Reflections/Monthly/YYYY-MM.md or in monthly note in Journal
When: December Style: Freeform, open-ended
By December, Junaid will have been thinking about the year. Don't over-structure this.
Possible prompts if needed:
Output: Journal/YYYY.md or Notes/Reflections/Yearly/YYYY.md
Check during heartbeats:
Friday/Saturday: Prompt for weekly sync
Last day of month: Prompt for monthly review
December: Nudge toward yearly reflection (freeform, don't force)
Adapt the depth to his energy. Sometimes a 5-minute check-in is enough.
