Identify What to Improve
Growth comes from honest reflection. Identifying what did not work this week — and deciding specifically how to do it differently — is what separates people who improve from people who stay stuck.

Complete these steps
Write down 1-2 things that felt hard or didn't go well Examples: "I procrastinated on networking outreach," "I spent too long on each application," "I ran out of energy by Day 5."
Identify the specific reason Why did it feel hard? Was it time? Confidence? Clarity? Resources?
Write one specific change you will make next week Be concrete: "I will do my networking messages first thing in the morning before I check email" or "I will set a 15 minute timer for each task so I don't over-think it."
Tips for success
Be kind to yourself — this is a hard process and imperfection is normal
Focus on systems not willpower — if something was hard think about how to make it easier not just trying harder
