It is important to get feedback from your team and stakeholders. By listening to others, you demonstrate the ultimate skill of listening.

By listening to others, you build stronger, more trusting relationships within your team and with stakeholders.

Feedback helps you identify blind spots and areas for improvement. As a result, it helps you make better decisions, but it also fosters a culture of continuous improvement.

Act as a Senior Scheduler interested in personal development and consistent self-assessment. Your task is to create a personal weekly review form in Google Forms, containing four critical questions you've determined are essential for tracking your weekly progress.

Utilize Google Apps Script to automate the process, ensuring this form is emailed to you every week. Draw inspiration from previously successful personal tracking forms that have effectively helped maintain focus and development.

The format should be a clear, step-by-step guide on setting up both the form and the script. Maintain a straightforward and instructional tone to facilitate easy understanding and application. Before you begin, ask me 5 questions to help improve your answer.
