Experience is not the best teacher—evaluated experience is. A 30–60 minute weekly review can change your life’s trajectory. Look back, learn fast, plan forward. That loop compounds learning and income because you stop repeating avoidable mistakes.

Simple structure: (1) Wins—what worked and why. (2) Misses—what failed and causes. (3) Metrics—study hours, workouts, revenue, savings, outreach. (4) Priorities—top 3 for next week. (5) Risks—what could derail you and countermeasures. Capture insights in one document; over months, you will see patterns that textbooks won’t show.

Make it stick: choose a fixed time (Sunday evening), brew tea, silence devices, and reflect honestly. Share highlights with an accountability partner. Celebrate small progress. Adjust tactics, not mission. With steady weekly reviews, your work sharpens, your relationships improve, and your money decisions get smarter. Reflection is the lever that lifts everything else.
