A weekly habit review using the record you already keep

Start with a completed week

Choose a regular time to look back, such as the start of your next week. Check which day your week begins on in the calendar settings, then find the completed period in the grid. An unfinished today is still open, and an ongoing weekly goal should not be read as a finished miss.

Read each habit against its own goal. A quota asks how many days qualified; a weekly amount goal asks how much accumulated. For a monthly goal, the week is only part of its period: you can review the amounts entered without treating the monthly target as if it were due every week.

Read the notes behind the marks

Open days with the small corner note mark. A short explanation can distinguish a changed timetable from a forgotten entry, or a planned break from a day that went differently. Notes can sit beside an amount, a checkmark, a skip, or an uncompleted day; they do not change what the day counts for.

Correct an entry if you know the record is wrong. Leave an honest miss as a miss if that is what happened. If you want to write a longer weekly reflection, keep it in your own journal; a habit's daily note is a short line of up to 280 characters.

Find a mismatch between the goal and the routine

Ask what the record suggests about the plan. Did exercise happen regularly, but on different days from the ones selected? Did study time arrive in a few long sittings while the goal asked for a daily minimum? Did reading continue even though the target was rarely reached? These point to different questions about schedule and amount.

Use the year view to see whether the same pattern appears over a longer stretch. Treat the record as a prompt to reflect: an empty cell alone cannot tell you why something did not happen, and one unusual week need not define the next one.

Choose one adjustment for the next week

You might clarify what counts in the habit description, pick weekdays that match a new timetable, or use a weekly quota when the days are flexible. An amount habit can also use a total per period when the combined amount matters more than a daily threshold. Choose a change you can describe clearly enough to review next time.

Editing a target or schedule changes how the existing record is judged; it does not create a rule that starts next week. The stored amounts stay the same. If you need to preserve the old goal alongside its history, archive that habit and create a new one for the new goal. Archiving retains the habit and still uses a habit slot.
