Weekly Eightly - Direction Across Days

A Daily Eightly brings clarity to today.
A Weekly Eightly brings direction across days.

Same shape. Same rules. Different job.

Why keep a Weekly Eightly?

Because not everything fits in a single day.
Projects, practices and themes need a wider timeframe.

Without a Weekly Eightly, they get lost in the noise.
With a Weekly Eightly, you hold the direction.

How it works

Start fresh on Monday. New week, new list.
Write up to eight items. Only the things that shape your week.
Keep it visible. Somewhere you’ll actually see it.
Review briefly on Friday. What held? What fell away?

What belongs on a weekly focus list?

One project you want to move forward.
A practice you want to repeat (exercise, writing, learning).
A theme that gives shape (reset, family, simplify).
Anything worth carrying across days.

Not everything you might do. Just what matters this week.

What not to do

Don’t treat eight as a target. Fewer is fine.
Don’t let it become a backlog. This isn’t storage.
Don’t roll it forward by default. Re-choose each week.

Linking to Daily Eightly

A Weekly Eightly doesn’t replace your Daily Eightly.
It supports it.

Each morning, glance at your weekly list.
Carry one item across into your Daily Eightly.
That’s enough to keep direction alive without pressure.

The payoff

Your week has shape.
Your daily lists stay anchored to something bigger.
A light framework that holds direction, while your Daily Eightly handles action.

Clarity for today.
Direction for the week.
Same shape. Different job.

Do what matters. Every day.
