Review my weekly learning progress and adjust the plan
A short weekly check-in that spots plateaus, finds your bottleneck, and sets next week's practice.
The prompt
Run a weekly review of my progress on a skill I'm learning and help me adjust the plan.
Skill and 90-day goal: [DETAILS]
My current plan or drills: [PASTE FROM STEP 3, or describe what I'm doing each session]
This week's practice log: [PASTE - sessions done, drills, success rates, notes]
Benchmark or test results so far: [SCORES OR OBSERVATIONS, with dates]
What felt hard / easy: [NOTES]
What got in the way: [TIME, ENERGY, MOTIVATION, OTHER]
Analyze:
1. Planned vs. actual practice time, and whether the plan is realistic for my life.
2. Which sub-skills improved and what the evidence is.
3. Plateau vs. normal dip: same errors and a flat success rate for 2+ weeks suggest a plateau; a short dip after raising difficulty is normal.
4. Whether I am drifting toward practicing what's comfortable instead of what's hard.
5. The single biggest bottleneck right now.
Return:
- A three-sentence summary of the week.
- What's working (keep doing).
- The one bottleneck and why it matters.
- No more than 3 changes for next week (keep / adjust / drop).
- Next week's session plan.
- Two short reflection questions for me to answer before the next review.
Keep it brief and practical. If I missed sessions, focus on an easy restart, not on guilt. This is step 4 of the "Teach yourself a new skill in 90 days" pack. It works on its own, and can use the drills and log from step 3.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
