A note to our readers. Synthese AI is pausing operations as we step back to reassess our direction. Rather than continue down a path we're not fully confident in, we want to rethink what this platform should be — not just another news feed, but something meaningfully useful. Thank you for reading and engaging with us. If and when we return, it will be with a clearer vision.

Weekly Review & Planning

Run a structured weekly review to close last week and prioritise the next.

Use case

Structuring a weekly review and planning session for personal or team productivity

Works best with

ClaudeChatGPT

Input needed

Last week's accomplishments and blockers, upcoming priorities, energy levels, and any context about shifting goals

Output format

Structured review summary, prioritized next-week plan, blocked items requiring follow-up, and reflection prompts

Example use

List what you shipped, what slipped, and what's on deck. Get back a structured review that highlights patterns, suggests priority adjustments, and creates a realistic plan for the coming week.

Editor’s Note

Best used as a thinking framework rather than a strict planner. The AI is good at spotting overcommitment patterns and suggesting what to deprioritize. Less useful if you just list tasks — you need to include context about why things slipped for the reflection to be valuable.

Full Prompt

Act as my personal productivity coach. Guide me through a complete weekly review and planning session.

Step 1 — CAPTURE: List everything on my mind, incomplete tasks, and open loops from last week.
Step 2 — REVIEW: For each item, classify as: Done ✓ | Carry Forward → | Drop ✗ | Delegate 👤
Step 3 — REFLECT: Answer these 3 questions:
  - What went well last week and why?
  - What was my biggest obstacle?
  - What single habit or system would have made the biggest difference?
Step 4 — PLAN: Define my Top 3 priorities for next week. For each priority, identify the very first physical action.

My context: [ROLE / CURRENT PROJECTS]
