Close the week properly, in five minutes

A Friday 5pm review of completed work, carried-over tasks, and what needs to move to next week.

Weeks that do not get closed bleed into each other. Friday's leftover tasks become Monday's archaeology dig, and the carry-over list grows without anyone deciding what it means.

A weekly review is the difference between a task list and a task graveyard. It is also the thing Friday energy least wants to do.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

Every Friday at 5pm, this routine reviews your week: what got completed, what carried over, and what needs a decision before Monday.

You end the week with a clean ledger instead of a vague pile, and Monday starts from a list that has already been triaged.

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 move tasks for me?

It recommends the moves; you approve them. Your task system stays under your hand.

Can it run at a different time?

Any time you like -- edit the schedule in the prompt. Friday 5pm is just the default.

Is Littlebird on Windows?

Not yet -- Mac only, with a Windows waitlist open on the site.

Do routines cost anything on top of Plus?

Nothing. Plus at $17 a month ($20 month-to-month) includes routines, and every plan starts with 14 free days.
