Daily market brief routine (20 minutes)

A short routine beats an inconsistent long one.

This workflow keeps daily intake focused on what can materially change your review posture.

TL;DR

• Keep daily review short and structured.
• Capture only relevant shifts.
• Track uncertainty and assumptions explicitly.
• End with trigger-based watchlist updates.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the brief from My Last Newsletter and scan top signals.
2. Capture key numbers in Data.
3. Add interpretation in Context with confidence.
4. Write What to watch triggers.
5. Update watchlist and next-check tasks.
6. Archive with date and source links.

Assumptions & uncertainty

• Assumptions should be listed separately from data.
• Uncertainty should include what would change your view.
• Keep unknowns visible, not implied.
