Weekly Review Checklist 20–30 min

Use this structured weekly review to clear your mind, reset priorities, and start the week with momentum. It pairs perfectly with Today’s Tasks, which keeps your list simple and fast.

Why a Weekly Review Matters

A weekly review helps you evaluate what worked, capture loose ends, and set priorities for the week ahead. Without reflection, tasks pile up and attention fragments.

Review done → clarity gained
Keep it lightweight: short review, big clarity.

Step 1: Clear Completed Tasks

Archive items you’ve finished. A clean slate keeps your list relevant and prevents old tasks from stealing attention.

Step 2: Re-evaluate Priorities

Scan High, Due Today, and General. Promote anything urgent, demote anything that can wait. Less is more.

Step 3: Capture Loose Ends

Scan emails, messages, notebooks, and your head. Convert anything unfinished into clear, single-step tasks. If it takes under two minutes, just do it.

Gather everything into one trusted place.

Ask: What slowed me down? What moved the needle? Write one small change for next week—constraints and tiny habits beat willpower.

Small tweaks compound into big gains.
