# Review Rhythm

## Purpose

The review rhythm keeps the system useful without turning it into bureaucracy.

## Daily Capture

Goal: remove pressure from memory.

Suggested practice:

- Capture loose items in `inbox/`.
- Do not classify everything immediately.
- Do not convert ideas into commitments during capture.

## Weekly Review

Goal: restore orientation.

Suggested checks:

- What is active?
- What is critical?
- What is waiting?
- What became noisy but not important?
- What should be moved from inbox into an area card?
- What should be explicitly parked as incubating?

Use `templates/weekly-review.md`.

## Monthly Landscape Review

Goal: prevent drift.

Suggested checks:

- Are activation levels still correct?
- Is Binky still A3, or has it stabilized?
- Is Helix moving the production capability forward?
- Is Coulomb migration clearer?
- Are Sloppers, WhyWhyNot, and Plenitude still safely incubating?
- Are any repos/projects creating stress without clear value?

## Burnout Guardrail

If the system feels heavy, reduce the number of active commitments before adding structure.
