Plan the week in 20 minutes, end Sunday calm, start Monday with a real plan.
A 20-minute Sunday ritual to review last week, plan time blocks for the next 7 days and start Monday already focused.
This page covers weekly time box review in practice: what to do first, how to turn it into real blocks in your calendar, and how to keep the plan alive when the day changes. Everything below is how we use Hioii ourselves — capture in Brain Dump, choose three outcomes, and box them into 30-minute slots with buffers.
Open your previous week. Mark each block: kept, moved, or skipped. The ratio of "kept" blocks is your honest signal — under 60% means your plan was fiction.
Not 20 tasks. 3 outcomes. Write them in plain language ("Ship onboarding email v2"). Everything else is support work that fits around those three.
Drop your 3 outcomes into morning blocks of 60–90 minutes. Then meetings, then admin. Leave a 90-min "buffer" block — you will need it by Wednesday.
Start in Brain Dump and empty your head — tasks, ideas, worries — without sorting them. Then mark the three that define a successful day and drag them onto the Time Box grid, where each block is 30 minutes and every block carries a buffer. When something breaks (and it will), Auto-Organize re-plans the rest of the day instead of leaving you with a stale schedule about weekly time box review.
Teams do the same thing in Squad: a shared backlog, delegation with clear owners, and availability that shows busy or blocked slots without exposing the private content of anyone's calendar. Managers see delivery speed and a traffic-light view of what is on track — measurement without surveillance.
Hioii is free to start on the Basic plan, which includes monthly AI credits. Paid plans add more credits, longer history retention, Take Off data export and team features such as seats, shared projects and agent access through MCP.
Sunday 6–7pm works for most people. Late enough that the weekend is done, early enough that Monday does not feel rushed.
Yes if you do it weekly. If you skip a week the next review needs 40 minutes because you are also catching up.
Re-block from Tuesday onward in 5 minutes. The plan is a hypothesis, not a contract.
