Purpose & Scope Close every work-week with a compact 10-minute ritual that: 1⃣ captures Keep / Stop / Start insights in Miro, 2⃣ promotes one Kaizen idea to the Q2 backlog, 3⃣ logs a short Personal Pulse (WWW ✦ EBI ✦ PERMA ✦ Mood) so the manager can spot burnout trends early, and 4⃣ bundles everything into the Weekly Packet for Monday approval.
