Where the week actually went

A weekly audit of how your time was really spent, in categories honest enough to argue with.

Time management advice assumes you know where your time goes. Almost nobody does -- the estimate and the reality differ by hours, and the estimate always wins.

Meetings feel shorter than they are. Email feels quicker than it is. Deep work feels longer than it ever was. The calendar remembers all of it.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

Every week, this routine audits your actual time: meetings, focus work, communication, and the unclassifiable rest, laid out in plain categories.

One honest look per week changes behavior faster than any system. The biggest surprise becomes the first fix.

Every Friday audit my week: how did I actually spend my time and was it aligned with my priorities

Set it up in three steps

VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.

FAQ

Does it track everything I do?

It works from your calendar and broad work patterns on your Mac -- categories, not keystrokes.

What do people usually change?

The first audit almost always triggers one move: a meeting killed, a block defended, or an email window contained.

Can it run monthly instead?

Yes. Set whatever cadence you want in the prompt.

Will my meetings be used for training?

Nothing you make is sold or pushed into a training set, and operations stay SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned throughout.

Could my content end up in a model?

Your material stays yours: no selling, no training on it, and SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned handling end to end.
