At the end of the day, before you close everything down, spend five minutes reviewing what happened. Not a long analysis. Just a quiet look back. What worked? What did not? What would you do differently?
This is not about judgment. It is about noticing. When you review your day, you begin to see patterns. Perhaps you notice that you are most focused in the morning. Perhaps you see that certain tasks take longer than expected. Perhaps you discover that you feel better when you take breaks.
These observations are data. They help you make better choices tomorrow. Without review, you repeat the same patterns without noticing them. With review, you can adjust. You can do more of what works and less of what does not.
Write down one thing you noticed today. Just one. It might be about your energy, your focus, your pace, or your choices. Keep it simple. This is not a journal entry. It is a note to your future self about what you learned.
The evening review closes the day with intention. It helps you learn from what happened instead of just moving on. Five minutes is enough. The practice is what matters, not the length. Start tonight. Notice what you notice.
