The GTD Weekly Review is the best work habit you can develop.

It’s Friday evening and I’m staring at my computer. I’m thinking: “I haven’t accomplished much this week”.

Sure, I put in 60+ hours at work. Yet, I have this feeling I’ve got nothing important done.

Welcome to my life a few years ago…

Fast forward to today:

I’m in control. I know what I have accomplished this week. And I’m ready for next week.

But getting to this point was not a straightforward process. I used to spend a couple of hours on Sunday reviewing every single thing: tasks, goals, strategy, and plans.

And I hated it. So I started skipping it. I dreaded doing it.

With practice, I’ve tweaked it into a simple GTD weekly review. I review my week, update my to-do list, and get ready for the upcoming week.

And then I close my computer and end my week.

Today, you’re going to discover my simple GTD weekly review.

If you…

  • Have no idea what to work on Monday morning
  • End the week feeling you haven’t made…
