​
The ritual loop

2bd operates on a simple cycle: plan → work → review → archive. Planning and review cycles across time scales

​
Planning rituals

Run in the morning (or start of period). They:
  • Load context from higher timescales
  • Fetch calendar events (if configured)
  • Prepare your working note from a template
  • Prompt for intention setting

​
Review rituals

Run in the evening (or end of period). They:
  • Guide reflection on wins and learnings
  • Archive your working note to Periodic
  • Extract insights to People/, Projects/, Insights/
  • Record observations for self-learning

​
Time scales

The loop runs at five scales, each nesting into the next:

Daily insights feed into weekly reviews. Weekly patterns inform monthly themes. Monthly progress shapes quarterly direction. The system synthesizes upward automatically.

​
Self-learning

Rituals learn from your behavior:
  1. Observe — Track how you modify templates
  2. Cluster — Group similar patterns
  3. Graduate — Stable patterns mature automatically
  4. Crystallize — Insights update templates
Your templates evolve to match how you actually work.
