Reflection frameworks

Each level comes with headings from reflection frameworks used around the world.

Your records are automatically collected from the bottom up

When you write a daily report, drafts for weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports are generated by collecting the records below them.

Four shared axes at the foundation of everything

Every framework maps to these same four axes. They carry your records from a lower level into the next one. The initials stand for Keep / Learned / Problem / Action.

Keep

Continue and build on what worked

Learned

Learning, insight, and understanding

Problem

Problems, gaps, and blockers

Action

The next step: start, try, or stop

How the frameworks map to the four axes

The wording changes at each level, but every item maps to the same four axes. That is why the meaning stays connected when records are collected.

Type	Framework	KKeep	LLearned	PProblem	AAction
Daily report	YWT	Y: did	W: learned	—	T: next
Weekly report	4Ls	Liked	Learned	Lacked	Longed for
Monthly report	PPP	Progress	Learned＋	Problems	Plans
Quarterly report	SSC	Continue	Learned＋	Stop	Start
Annual report	SWOT	Strengths	Learned＋	Weaknesses・Threats	Opportunities

+ means Effica Grove adds and extends the Learned axis, which is not part of the original framework. This keeps learning connected across every level.

Daily report — YWT

A light reflection on one day

A three-step flow of what you did, what you learned, and what to do next. It follows the same structure as the widely used What? / So What? / Now What? reflection model, naturally connecting each day to the next step.

Axis	English	Prompt	What to write
K	Y	What you did	What you worked on or moved forward today (facts)
L	W	What you learned	Insights, learning, and the cause of a blocker
A	T	What to do next	Your next step or hypothesis

Weekly report — 4Ls

Liked / Learned / Lacked / Longed for

Collect a week's daily reports and reflect on them. The 4Ls help you hold what went well, what you learned, what was lacking, and what you want to try next in one frame.

Axis	English	Prompt	What to write
K	Liked	What went well	What worked well and what to continue
L	Learned	What you learned	This week's learning and insights
P	Lacked	What was lacking	Gaps and challenges
A	Longed for	What you wanted	What you want to try next

Monthly report — PPP + Learned

Progress / Learned / Problems / Plans

Collect weekly reports to reflect on a month. This expands PPP (Progress / Plans / Problems) with Learned, organizing outcomes and plans together.

Axis	English	Prompt	What to write
K	Progress	Progress and results	What moved forward or was achieved this month
L	Learned	Learning	Your main learning this month
P	Problems	Problems	Challenges that remain
A	Plans	Plans	Next month's plan and focus

Quarterly report — SSC + Learned

Continue / Learned / Stop / Start

Collect monthly reports to reflect on three months. Start / Stop / Continue (SSC) clarifies which actions to keep or change, while preserving Learned.

Axis	English	Prompt	What to write
K	Continue	Continue	What to keep doing this quarter
L	Learned	Learning	Your main learning this quarter
P	Stop	Stop	What to stop doing
A	Start	Start	What to begin next

Annual report — SWOT + Learned

Strengths / Learned / Weaknesses・Threats / Opportunities

Collect quarterly reports to see a whole year. SWOT takes stock of strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities while preserving Learned.

Axis	English	Prompt	What to write
K	Strengths	Strengths	This year's strengths and what to keep using
L	Learned	Learning	Your main learning this year
P	Weaknesses・Threats	Weaknesses and threats	Internal weaknesses and external threats
A	Opportunities	Opportunities	Opportunities to use next year
