FAQ

What should an employee weekly check-in include?
A good weekly check-in covers three things: what got done this week, what's blocked or needs attention, and what's planned for next week. WeekBlast structures this automatically - team members don't have to figure out the format.
How is WeekBlast different from a Google Form check-in?
Google Forms are static and easy to ignore. WeekBlast sends reminders, keeps a permanent searchable history, and shows updates in a team feed. Managers can read and respond to updates without chasing anyone down.
Can employees use WeekBlast without installing anything?
Yes. Team members can send their weekly update by email - just forward relevant work emails to their WeekBlast address throughout the week, or write their blast directly in the app. The Chrome extension is optional.
How does WeekBlast help with annual performance reviews?
Every weekly blast is saved permanently and is searchable. When it's time for a review, both the manager and the employee have a complete record of what was worked on, delivered, and where they got blocked throughout the year.

Weekly check-ins are one of the highest-leverage management habits - when they actually happen. The problem is friction. Google Forms gets ignored. Slack messages get buried. Meetings take too much time. WeekBlast makes the check-in easy enough that people actually do it.

Why Check-Ins Break Down

Most check-in systems fail because they're either too rigid or too easy to skip. Forms feel bureaucratic. Slack threads disappear. Meetings require coordination.

Common failure modes:

  • Google Forms that nobody remembers to fill out
  • Slack channels where updates get buried within hours
  • 1:1 meetings that consume calendar time for status that could be written
  • No searchable record when performance review season arrives

How WeekBlast Makes It Stick

WeekBlast turns the weekly check-in into a blast: a short, structured update that each team member sends once a week. It can be written in the app, forwarded from email, or sent from the Chrome extension. No new habit required.

The result:

  • Team members have a running log of everything they accomplished
  • Managers get visibility without scheduling time
  • Blockers get surfaced before they become problems
  • Performance reviews pull from a real record instead of memory
