Weekend recap. How do you deal with weeks when you didn't give it 100%?

Question

Hey all,

There are days, weeks that end not so productive, how do you reflect on them?

I personally live some kind of frustration and demotivation, even though I try to hype myself it doesn't work.

Any tips on how to make your weekly recaps more kind to yourself?

I remind myself of my past achievements and realise that even if the past week was bad, on average I've been very productive in the past years. 
I try to figure out what caused my drop in productivity and think of ways to fix it for next time.

We all have those weeks. It's important to be kind on yourself and to to acknowledge that we are bound to have more and less productive periods. Sometimes, external factors and events in your personal life may affect your work performance. We are not robots so let's not be too harsh on ourselves and just remind ourselves to try harder the coming week!

Answer

Weeks when I didn't give it 100% serve as reminders to reflect, recalibrate, and refocus for the upcoming week, knowing that progress is not defined by a single moment but by the continuous effort.
