Your weekly review might be the simplest productivity habit you're not using. Most weeks don't unravel all at once — they slip a little at a time until you look up on a Friday and wonder how you got here. 

On this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun walks through the exact weekly review he's used for years: three questions, less than ten minutes, and just enough honesty to catch a rough week before it becomes a rough month.

Chris also gets into Jeff Bezos' regret minimization framework, and why the regrets that actually keep us up at night are almost never about the risks we took. They're about the things we didn't do. He shares a genuinely uncomfortable story from his early coaching days, and three simple ways to close the gap between the moment and the response you wish you'd given.
