# Second Brain OS: Weekly Review Template (Free Sample)

This is a free sample from **Second Brain OS — Obsidian Vault & Notion Templates** by 100mil.org. It is the exact Weekly Review template from the product.

The full product contains the complete Obsidian vault (Home page, numbered folder system, and worked example notes), all ten templates, a prompt library of twelve prompt cards, and five Notion-importable databases, plus a setup guide.

## How to use this template in Obsidian

1. Copy everything inside the code block below.
2. In your vault, create a note called `Weekly Review` inside your templates folder and paste the text in.
3. Turn on the **Templates** core plugin (Settings → Core plugins) and set its template folder location to that folder.
4. Each week, create a note named like `2026-W46 Weekly Review`, then run **Templates: Insert template** and choose **Weekly Review**. The `{{date}}` variables are filled in automatically.

It works with core Obsidian features only; no community plugins are needed. Text between `%%` signs is an Obsidian comment: visible while editing, hidden in Reading view.

# Weekly Review — {{date:GGGG-[W]WW}}

%% Block 30–45 minutes at the same time every week. Work from top to bottom and tick each box as you go. Short answers are fine; the point is to look at everything once. %%

## 1. Clear (10 minutes)
- [ ] Process **00 Inbox** to zero: move, link, or delete every note
- [ ] Empty other inboxes into the vault: email flags, downloads, screenshots, paper notes
- [ ] Skim this week's daily notes and copy any unfinished tasks to the right project
- [ ] Check the **Capture** section of each daily note for ideas worth keeping

## 2. Review (15 minutes)
### What went well

### What did not go to plan
%% Facts, not blame. What got in the way? What would you change? %%

### What I learned

### Projects
%% One row per active project in 10 Projects. If a project has no next action, it is stuck: write one or put it on hold. %%

| Project | Status | Next action |
| ------- | ------ | ----------- |
|         |        |             |

- [ ] Every active project has one clear next action
- [ ] Finished projects: set `status: done` and move them to **40 Archive**
- [ ] Areas: is any area of responsibility being neglected?
- [ ] Waiting on others: anything to follow up?

## 3. Plan (10 minutes)
### Top 3 outcomes for next week
1.

### Calendar check
%% Look two weeks ahead. Note deadlines, travel, and anything that needs preparation. %%
- 

### Not this week
%% Things you are consciously choosing not to do yet. Writing them down makes it easier to let go. %%
- 

## 4. Reset (5 minutes)
- [ ] Close finished tabs and documents
- [ ] Back up the vault (or confirm sync and backup ran)
- [ ] Bookmark this review so you can copy the Top 3 into Monday's daily note

## Score
- Energy (1–5):
- Focus (1–5):
- The week in one sentence:
```

The folder names in the template (`00 Inbox`, `10 Projects`, `40 Archive`) match the vault in the full product. If your vault uses different folders, change those words after pasting.
