Friday afternoon is for reflection, not new work.
The week is done. Don't start something you can't finish.
Instead, look back.
What worked this week? What didn't? What would you do differently?
Most founders skip this. They're already thinking about next week. Or they're just tired and want to stop.
But reflection is where learning happens.
Without it, you make the same mistakes. You miss the patterns. You stay reactive instead of becoming strategic.
It doesn't take long.
Fifteen minutes. What went well? What didn't? What's one thing to change next week?
Write it down. Not in your head—on paper or in a doc.
The act of writing forces clarity.
Over time, these reflections compound. You see what really matters. You stop repeating yourself.
Your future self will thank your Friday self.
Take the time.
