Proactive Question Rotation

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

A 24-week rotating list of questions for weekly review. Each week, engage with one question from the current category. After cycling through all categories, start again.

Categories cover: Situation, Goals, Strategy, Values, Action, and Meta. The rotation ensures systematic coverage of all important domains without overwhelming any single review session.

Steps

Step 1: Determine Current Week

What week number are we in? (1-24, cycling)
Which category does this week fall in?
What is this week’s specific question?

Rotation schedule:

Week	Category	Question
1	Situation	What has changed in my environment since last review?
2	Goals	Are my current goals still the right goals?
3	Strategy	Is my current approach working? What’s the evidence?
4	Values	Am I spending time on what I say matters most?
5	Action	What am I avoiding that I know I should do?
6	Meta	Am I asking the right questions? What am I not asking?
7	Situation	What threats or opportunities am I not seeing?
8	Goals	Which goal, if achieved, would make the others easier?
9	Strategy	What would I do differently if I started over today?
10	Values	Where am I compromising my values? Is it justified?
11	Action	What’s the highest-leverage action I could take this week?
12	Meta	What assumptions am I making that I haven’t tested?
13	Situation	What do others see about my situation that I don’t?
14	Goals	What goal have I been pursuing out of inertia rather than conviction?
15	Strategy	What resources am I underutilizing?
16	Values	If I could only keep 3 commitments, which would they be?
17	Action	What have I been planning to do “someday” that I should either schedule or drop?
18	Meta	What feedback have I been ignoring or dismissing?
19	Situation	What’s working well that I should protect and not accidentally break?
20	Goals	What would make me change my goals? Has that happened?
21	Strategy	Where am I over-investing for diminishing returns?
22	Values	What would I regret NOT doing if I looked back in 5 years?
23	Action	What’s one thing I could stop doing to free up capacity?
24	Meta	How has my thinking changed in the last 6 months? What caused the change?

Step 2: Engage with the Question

Read the question
Set a timer for 15-30 minutes
Write freely in response — don’t filter or organize
Look for surprises — anything unexpected in your answer is valuable

Step 3: Extract Actionable Insights

From your free-write:

What did you learn that you didn’t already know?
What action does this suggest?
Is there a decision to make?
Does this connect to answers from previous weeks?

Step 4: Connect to Previous Cycles

If you have answers from the same question in previous cycles:

Compare current answer to previous — what changed?
Did you act on previous insights? What happened?
Are there patterns across cycles?
Are you seeing the same issue repeatedly? (If so, escalate — it’s not getting solved by reflection alone)

Step 5: Record and Plan

WEEKLY REVIEW — Week [N] of 24
Category: [Situation/Goals/Strategy/Values/Action/Meta]
Question: [this week's question]

Response summary: [key points from free-write]

Insights:
1. [insight]
2. [insight]

Actions:
- [ ] [specific action with deadline]

Connections to previous reviews:
- [link to related past insights]

Pattern alerts: [recurring themes across cycles]

Step 6: Apply to Input

If the input specifies a particular question, topic, or context:

Use that as the focus instead of the rotation schedule
Still follow Steps 2-5
Note which category it falls into

If the input asks to review the system itself:

Are any categories consistently producing insights? (Keep emphasizing)
Are any categories consistently empty? (Revise those questions)
Are there important questions missing? (Add to rotation)

When to Use

Weekly personal or project review
When feeling directionless and needing structured reflection
When wanting to ensure systematic coverage of all life/work domains
→ INVOKE: /wr (weekly review) for the broader review process

Verification

Current week/question identified
Question genuinely engaged with (not just skimmed)
Actionable insights extracted
Connected to previous cycle answers if available
Specific actions identified with deadlines
