Review your week

Use Brik review data to notice patterns, not to shame yourself.

Purpose

Review helps you look back without turning the week into a guilt report. It shows what got done, where resistance showed up, how accurate your estimates were, and what Brik is learning about your real pace.

When to use it

Use Review when:

  • you want to understand why the week felt better or worse
  • you keep skipping the same kind of work
  • your estimates feel unreliable
  • you want to learn from the week before replanning the next one

Step-by-step flow

  1. Open Review.
  2. Start with Weekly momentum to get the high-level picture.
  3. Check Work profile to see how Brik is interpreting your real pace and preferred session length.
  4. Review the weekly counts like completed work, skipped work, and streak.
  5. Read the Weekly review section for skip patterns and estimated versus actual time.
  6. Scan the Complexity breakdown to see what kind of work filled the week.
  7. End with Biggest wins so you leave with evidence of what is working, not only what felt hard.

What Brik is doing in the background

Brik compares estimated time against actual time, tracks repeated skip patterns, and builds a work profile from what you really finish. The point is calibration: better timing, better sequencing, and fewer unrealistic expectations next time.

Common gotchas and reassurance

  • Review is not a grade. It is a pattern check.
  • One chaotic week does not define your work profile forever.
  • A high skip count is useful signal, not proof that you failed.
  • If Review makes you spiral, use it briefly: read the work profile, one skip pattern, and one win, then stop.
