The weekly loop
An assistant that plans with you, and writes your week back when it ends.
Plan
Your week onto the calendar: from a template, by hand, or around the calendar you already have. Or skip it and log after the fact.
Run
The day, block by block. When the plan breaks, the assistant proposes a new shape, and you approve each change.
Note
A line while it’s fresh, if you have one: what happened, where you left off. Two taps for how it went.
Review
From Friday, your week read back to you: where the hours went, where energy dropped, where the plan and what happened pulled apart.
What happened feeds the next plan.
Goals are why. Tasks are what. Blocks are when.
The loop isn’t a rigid schedule. Plans are hypotheses: the tools are there to make changing the plan easy, not to punish you for drifting off it.
Fall off, come back
Axis is designed for the weeks that don’t go to plan, not only the ones that do. You will drift off the system. Everyone does: a brutal stretch at work, a vacation, a task list that kept growing while you weren’t looking.
So it’s built for the return, not just the routine. Come back after two weeks away and you won’t find two weeks of blocks asking to be rated: a block stops asking after five days. You can still go back and rate it; you just aren’t asked.
Then clear what piled up. From Tools, Task Cleanup goes through your tasks: what’s done, what needs a new date, what you can let go. For everything else on your mind, the Prompt Library’s Brain Dump & Triage sorts it with you, in Axis or in your own ChatGPT or Claude, into tasks matched against the ones you already have. Both propose. Nothing changes until you apply it, a row at a time or all at once.
The loop picks up wherever you are.
Start anywhere
There’s no single way to begin. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook, and Axis plans around what’s already there: each new meeting waits for you to confirm it, then holds its place. Start from a template, one you saved or a ready-made day suggested for your work profile. Build it by hand, block by block. Have a prompt from the Prompt Library interview you and draft a week template, which Axis previews before writing anything. Or skip planning entirely and log what you did afterwards.
It all lands in the same place: a week Axis can read patterns from.
Six questions turn how you already work into a starting shape: when you focus best, what fills your weeks, how many hours are realistic. Skip them and Axis starts from defaults. Either way, it builds a second profile from what you do, worked out by rules rather than AI, and you can push back on any of it.
Take the work profile quiz →Running a day
Work through today’s plan one block at a time. When a block ends, jot a line while it’s fresh: what happened, what you got done. Two taps record how it went and how much energy it took. Axis always asks after focused work, and after anything else only when something stands out. For a routine or a chore, the only question is whether it happened, and fewer questions, or none at all, is a setting.
At the end of the day, the shutdown asks what you got done, where you left off, what’s still nagging and your first move tomorrow. None of it is a form. Every field is optional, and a sentence is plenty.
Usage data can tell you an editor was open from 2 to 4. It can’t tell you whether you shipped the fix. A line written while it’s fresh can.
Your morning goes to firefighting: tell the assistant, and it reads how those sessions went and proposes a new shape for the rest of the day, starting from now. Something bigger changes, like a deadline moving or a project arriving, and it proposes the block moves, new tasks and conflict fixes that follow. Each change waits for you, and you accept or reject each one on its own.
It advises. Nothing reaches your calendar without you.
See how you approve its changes →It comes back when you need it
What you write doesn’t sit in a log. Tomorrow’s Day Brief opens on where you left off, what’s still nagging and the first move you named, and on a Monday it finds Friday’s. A loose end can go straight onto a block or become a task, from Today or the Day Brief.
Your session notes become your wins, in the words you used at the time. And when Axis writes your week back, what you wrote is the first-hand account; the block data fills in the rest.
Your week, read back to you
From Friday, Axis can write your week back to you: where the time went, where energy dropped, and where your plan and what happened pulled apart. Ask it follow-up questions, and it answers with your last four weeks in mind.
It adds up. The dashboard gathers your energy, the balance between kinds of work and what got done, and Trends charts your plans against what happened, week over week. It runs on whatever you logged, however it got onto the calendar: from a template, by hand or after the fact. Any week with blocks in it can be read back.
The block you keep putting off gets named, with an offer to shrink it or drop it from your template.
Start with one week
Answer six questions and Axis sets up your first week, or skip straight to a blank calendar and log as you go. Either way works.
