#38Chapter 04 — Claude for Project Management & Productivity
It's Friday. Here's everything that happened in my work week: **Processed meeting summaries:** [Paste the action items and decisions from each meeting this week — use the outputs Claude already generated for you] **Tasks completed this week:** [List what you finished — can be from your PM tool, your to-do list, or just from memory] **Tasks NOT completed (carried over):** [What didn't get done and why] **Notable emails or messages:** [Anything important that happened outside of meetings — a client complaint, a deadline change, a new opportunity, a team issue] Produce a Weekly Review with these sections: **1. Week in Review** (5-7 bullet points) What were the most significant things that happened this week? Focus on outcomes, not activities. Not "had 6 meetings" but "secured client approval on Q3 campaign direction." **2. Decisions Made** List every decision that was finalized this week, across all meetings and communications. **3. Action Items Status** Compile ALL action items from the week. For each one: what it is, who owns it, current status (done / in progress / not started / blocked), and deadline. **4. Emerging Risks** Based on the patterns you see — delayed tasks, unresolved questions, resource conflicts — what risks are developing? Flag anything that could become a problem in the next 2 weeks if not addressed. **5. Next Week's Priorities** Based on what happened this week and what's pending, what are the 3-5 most important things to focus on next week? Rank them. **6. Parking Lot** Items that were mentioned this week but aren't urgent enough for next week. Things to revisit in 2-4 weeks.
