The plan

1. 📋
   Sun

   List this week's study tactics. Every method you actually used.
2. 📊
   Sun

   Score each by felt effort (1-5) vs. objective result (1-5). The gap is the signal.
3. 🏆
   Sun

   Name the single tactic that paid off most. Why did it work?
4. 🪓
   Sun

   Name one to retire. Why did it feel productive but wasn't?
5. ✍️
   Sun

   Write next week's default tactic in one line. Just one.
6. ▶️
   Mon-Fri

   Run the default tactic daily. Note friction points as they happen.
7. 🔎
   Fri

   Quick check: is the default tactic actually running? Or did you skip it?
8. 📝
   Sat

   Gather the friction notes. Patterns? Adjust the tactic.
9. 🔁
   Sun (next)

   Re-run this debrief. Compare scores week over week.
