Make It Sustainable

The biggest threat to your review habit is making it too complicated. Start with five minutes and a simple template. Use a notebook, a plain text file, or a dedicated app like Notion or Day One.

Anchor the review to a specific time and place. Sunday evening at your desk. Friday afternoon before leaving the office. The cue must be consistent enough to become familiar. After four consecutive weeks, skipping the review may start to feel off, like leaving the house without your phone.
