Every project, one Monday briefing
A Monday compile of status across all your active projects, so the week starts with the full board
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
Two of your four projects are on track, and two need attention this week.
- On track: Birdseed Brands has 16 of 20 launch tasks done, and the Tiny Nest Co. site is in design review.
- Blocked: the Perch & Partners portal needs Avery's security review, and Thursday's meeting notes estimate two weeks.
- Needs a decision: the Sparrow & Sons rebrand keeps its November 14 date only if the print work moves later.
The problem
Status lives in the tool where the project lives, and projects live in five tools at once. Getting the full picture means a Monday morning of tab-switching before any real decision gets made.
By the time you have assembled the picture yourself, half of it has already moved.
What it does
Every Monday, this routine compiles status across your active projects into one view: progress, blockers, and what needs a decision this week.
You spend Monday deciding instead of gathering. The picture is assembled before your coffee is.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every Monday compile a status overview of all my active projects
Why make it a routine?
Skills are a good demo. You open a chat, paste in yesterday's context, and get a pretty solid answer exactly once.
Tomorrow you do the whole thing again: same paste, same wait. The skill does not know your meetings, your threads, or what changed since Monday.
This routine knows all of that before it runs. It fires on schedule and hands you the result where you already work.

Littlebird runs on Mac and Windows, with web, iPhone and Android companion apps.
