The check-in questions, on one page.

The six questions in order, with room to write and a box for the two guesses. Print one for each of you — the whole thing depends on neither of you seeing the other’s answers until you have both finished.

Why these six, and why the order — the guide explains each one. You do not need it to use the sheet.


The weekly check-in

Answer on your own. Do not read the other sheet until you have both finished.

First, before anything else — guess.

Write both numbers now. Do not look at any record of the week, and do not discuss them yet.

Things I think you didThings I think I did
  1. 1.What went well this week — for us, not for you?

  2. 2.What did I do this week that made things easier for you?

  3. 3.What was heaviest for you this week?

  4. 4.Was there anything you needed and did not ask for?

  5. 5.What is one thing I could take off you next week?

  6. 6.Is anything coming that means next week is not a normal week?

Last, out loud: name one specific thing the other person did that mattered. Specific — not “everything you do”.

The gap between your guesses and the week is the point, and it usually runs the same direction for both of you. It is a surprise about your own estimate, not about your partner. · everylittle.app/weekly-check-in
