Review and Adjust
What's changed?
The system evolves with your life. Review and Adjust is the rhythm layer: short weekly check-ins and deeper monthly, quarterly, and annual reviews that keep the Game Plan honest.
Why it matters
Life changes—income, taxes, kids, homes, careers. Without a review rhythm, even great systems decay into outdated assumptions and false confidence.
Common mistakes
- Skipping reviews when things feel fine
- Making the review so long it never happens
- Changing too many variables at once
- Reviewing without deciding the one next action
Real-world examples
Scenario 1
A 5-minute weekly review prevents a missed insurance renewal.
Scenario 2
A monthly net worth review sparks a useful refinance conversation.
Scenario 3
A quarterly automation audit catches a duplicate subscription.
