WINTER ARC · FIELD GUIDE
A weekly review that changes next week
Content reviewed
Move from one saved observation to one testable adjustment.
Begin with evidence already saved
Open the week anchored to your plan start date. Read its notes and rule counts before writing. The final week has six days because thirteen full weeks would exceed ninety. Do not compare a partial week to a full one without checking the denominator.
Write three short answers
What helped? Name a condition, not a character trait. What got in the way? Describe a specific obstacle. What is one next step? Choose an action you can try during the following week. Each answer may contain up to 400 characters. Save explicitly; a draft is not included in printed reviews.
Worked fictional example
For a writing plan: “Leaving a prompt helped me start.” “I spent the whole session editing the first sentence.” “Next week I will write the paragraph before revising the opening.” At the next review, search for “opening” and compare the notes. This records an experiment, not a guaranteed productivity method.
Carry decisions into a phase
The 30-, 60- and 90-day review shows saved weekly decisions overlapping that chapter. A boundary week can appear in two chapters; the numerical summaries still use each chapter’s own dates. Your written conclusion is never regenerated just because you correct a check-in.
