Week of May 6 — May 12

Your week, synthesized.

ReflectOS read all 14 reflections from this week and pulled out the signals — what gave you energy, what drained it, what kept repeating, and what you didn't quite resolve.

Weekly narrative

This was a week about leverage versus visibility. You shipped the import flow on Monday and felt the old momentum return — but by Wednesday, three different conversations (Sam, Maya, the board prep) circled back to the same uncomfortable question: are you working on what compounds, or just on what's visible?

Energy dipped midweek (Wed/Thu), then recovered sharply Friday and Saturday after walks. Walking shows up as your most reliable energy reset — more than meetings, more than rest.

One thread you keep avoiding: the platform pricing conversation. It's appeared in 5 reflections this month and resolved in zero of them.
