I would like everyone to make your weekly aims, especially for people who have strengths for focus At least it helps me a lot.
If you don’t understand what your strengths are, I would recommend using the tool whose name is CliftonStrengths.

Here are my merits of deciding my purpose for weeks.
Finding your interests
Everyone can spend their daily life without noticing anything and so do I. However, I don’t like myself when I spend lots of meaningless time such as watching YouTube videos for a long time.
Deciding your interests, which means what you want in your next week, helps you spend your time satisfactorily.
Searching your criteria
Although I started deciding my weekly purpose, I didn’t satisfy what I wanted to do. I thought this was because I was poor at prioritizing. It was wrong. What I had to do was to decide your criteria.
Criteria support you to monitor whether you achieve your aims. If you don’t have any criteria or you have just ambiguous criteria, you won’t get any results for your aims, which means you cannot get any feedback or iterate new tackles.
It is not always using numbers for your criteria, but numbers support you strongly. For instance, I made a weekly aim for output my Engish and my criteria was writing two reviews for restaurants. It is simple for deciding whether you could achieve your goals, compared with whether you could improve your English output skills because it is almost impossible to measure your skills.
Great boundaries with others
When I didn’t decide on my weekly aims, I often went to lunches and dinners with friends. I often replied to emails as soon as I received anything. However, at the same time, I felt tons of stress about doing them because I didn’t do what I wanted.
I should have satisfied myself first. After doing this, I could have done things for others. Deciding your weekly aims helps you to be consistent with your willingness.
