Weekly Review
A weekly review is a 15–20 minute session, usually Friday or Monday, where you score the finished week, log what blocked any missed tactics, and commit to next week's tactic list. It is the solo equivalent of the accountability meeting and the single habit that keeps a 12-week plan alive.
Every part of the 12-week system routes through the weekly review. The scorecard produces a number, but the review is where the number becomes a decision: keep the tactics, adjust a cadence, drop a goal-starving commitment, add a strategic block. Skip the review and the scorecard degrades into unread data within two weeks — this is the most common way 12-week plans die.
A reliable agenda in three steps: score the week (under a minute if you've been checking tactics off); explain the misses in one line each ('no strategic block Tuesday — travel', 'tactic unrealistic at 5x/week'); then commit next week's list, applying whatever the misses taught. Done Friday afternoon, it also buys a genuinely free weekend, because the plan is closed rather than looming.
The review is where solo practitioners are most fragile, which is why pairing it with an accountability partner — even just texting the score — dramatically improves survival rates. For example, a solo developer might book 'Friday 4:30, review + score + message Dan' as a recurring calendar event; the whole ritual takes fifteen minutes and is itself a scoreable tactic.
