A Simple Weekly Review Checklist

A short, repeatable review that keeps your system trustworthy without turning into a chore.

The point of a review

A weekly review isn't about doing more work. It's about trusting your system enough to stop carrying everything in your head. Ten minutes is usually enough.

The checklist

  • Clear the inbox: decide on anything you captured this week.
  • Check overdue: reschedule or drop, don't just look away.
  • Review this week's outcomes: what happened, what didn't?
  • Glance at goals: is anything drifting quietly?
  • Set next week's two or three outcomes.

Keep it boring

A review works because it's the same every time and takes little effort. If it grows into an hour-long ritual, you'll skip it. Short and consistent beats thorough and abandoned.
