I'm doing a tiny experiment: I will do a Day Review for 18 weekdays over the period Mon April 7 to Wed April 30, the last 4 weeks of the month (weeks 15–18). I will also do 3 Week Reviews during that time using a similar approach.

I'm also including a separate page for each Day Review, starting with Day 1. My Day Review template includes sections for Plus Minus Next, Thoughts, Questions, and Actions so they have a common structure.

What will I focus on next?

• Add highlight and/or summary for Day Review that might be used in Week Review.
• Integrate Last Light section into Day Review template for freewrite journaling at end of day; this is similar to First Light for initial morning thoughts in the Day Plan (like "morning pages").

Thoughts

What do I think and feel about today's activities?

• Even though I spend all afternoon with meal planning & grocery shopping, I felt like I got a lot done today.
• I'm really glad that I decided to start this experiment because I'm learning a lot each day, and incrementally refining the process.

Questions

Any questions for research or exploration?

• What potential metadata fields and tags might be useful for a Day Review, especially related to diabetes and health data.
• Should my diabetes review for the previous day be done in the morning, or incorporated in the Day Review later in that day.

Actions

What can I do next?

• Determine what's appropriate to review today's notes, active efforts (or projects), including maps and views.
• Identify how to split the Day Review across the end of one day, and the beginning of the next.
