End the day knowing exactly what's still undone

Every action item from today's meetings in one list, with the ones you haven't touched flagged before tomorrow buries them.

Action items die quietly. They get assigned at 2pm, buried under three more meetings by 4, and by tomorrow's standup you're reconstructing the day from memory and hoping nothing important fell through.

Managers and project managers feel this worst, because the items you drop are usually other people's blockers.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine runs every evening at 6pm. It goes through the meetings you had today, pulls out every action item that came up, and checks which ones show no sign of progress.

The output is a short end-of-day list: what got done, what's still open, and what's due soon. Close the loop tonight or hand it to tomorrow on purpose, not by accident.

THE SETUP

Set it up in three steps

  1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.

  3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.
VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

You can fake this with a chat skill and enough copy-paste. Most people keep it up for a week, then stop -- because the copy-paste is the actual job.

A routine removes the choreography: the context is already there, the schedule is already set, and the output shows up where you need it.

And it is private by design: SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned, running on your Mac.

FAQ

How does it know what's done?

It compares the action items from your meetings against your visible work -- tasks checked off, emails sent, documents updated. Anything with no trace gets flagged as open.

What if I use a task app?

This routine reports in Littlebird. If you want items pushed into a task manager instead, the Action Item Sync routine sends them to Todoist automatically.

How much does the evening review cost?

It works on the free Basic plan. If you run it alongside several other routines, Plus costs $17 per month on annual billing or $20 month to month, with 14 days free to try.

Will it interrupt my evening?

No. It waits quietly until you open it. Auto-pause is built in, so vacations and off days stay off.
