Daily Review

A quick daily scan to maintain awareness of commitments and priorities. Unlike the weekly review, this is fast (5-10 minutes) and focused on immediate awareness.

When to Use

• Start of each day
• User asks "What's on for today?"
• User asks "What should I focus on?"
• Quick orientation after being away

Daily Review Steps

Step 1: Today's Calendar

gtd-calendar today

"Here's what's on your calendar today:"

Apply the calendar semantics from the calendar-management skill.

Present:

• Scheduled meetings/events
• Time blocks
• Deadlines

Flag any:

• Back-to-back meetings
• Prep needed before meetings
• Conflicts to resolve

Step 2: Due/Overdue Items

gtd-action list --filter "today | overdue"

"Items due today or overdue:"

Highlight:

• Overdue: Need immediate attention
• Due today: Must complete by end of day
• Time-sensitive: Has a specific deadline

Step 3: Waiting-For Check

gtd-action waiting

"Quick check on items you're waiting for - any follow-ups needed?"

Flag items that:

• Are overdue
• Need a nudge
• Might affect today's work

Step 4: Quick Inbox Glance

gtd-action inbox
gtd-email list

"Quick inbox check: [N] items in Todoist, [N] emails"

Don't process now - just awareness. If anything urgent, flag it.

Step 5: Context Preview

Based on likely contexts for the day:

"You'll probably be at [context] today. Here are relevant actions:"

gtd-action list --filter "@office" # or whatever context

Step 6: Energy/Priority Scan

"Of your available actions, which 1-3 things would make today a success if completed?"

Help identify the "big rocks" for the day.

Integration with What Should I Do Now

If user wants guidance on what to do next after daily review:

"Would you like help deciding what to do first? I can help based on your context, time, and energy."

Hand off to what-should-i-do-now skill.

Example Session

End of Day Version

"How did today go? Let's do a quick wrap-up."

1. What got done? Mark items complete
2. What didn't happen? Reschedule or reconsider
3. Anything for tomorrow's calendar?
