Mindset:
- The goal is to reflect on your week, not to give good answers to these questions.
- The weekly planning is already worth it if you succeed in successfully implementing one minor change per week.
- Be objective.
- Imagine that you're a consultant, hired to review your week.
- Be efficient.
- Try limiting yourself to 2 - 3 sentences each.
- Be kind.
- Don't be too harsh on yourself.
Agenda:
- Mini-Retro:
- What was great about our last meeting?
- What wasn’t great about our last meeting?
- What are we going to do differently this time?

- If yes, then pick a new bug.
- Make a plan and try to "Murphyjitsu" it as much as possible.
- Imagine that your plan has failed.
- If you are shocked now, then you are done.
- If no, then simulate the most likely Failure Mode and adjust your plan.
When you're done.
- Write down all your to-dos lying around and date them if possible.
- Schedule old to-dos.
