Weekly review checklist
The hour a week that gives control back: collect everything in one place, process the inbox, delete what is dead, rewrite vague tasks and choose what matters.

[ ] Set a fixed time once a week
    Friday evening or Sunday — it does not matter, as long as it is the same slot. A review \u201cwhen there is time\u201d never happens.
[ ] Collect everything into one place
    Scraps, notes on your phone, messages to yourself, tasks buried in chats and email, thoughts in your head. Scattered, they never form a picture.
[ ] Process the inbox to zero
    Each item: do it now if it takes a minute, turn it into a dated task, delegate it or delete it. There is no fifth option.
[ ] Tick off what is done
    That is not vanity but feedback: seeing what you finished this week is what keeps you going.
[ ] Delete what is no longer relevant
    Tasks you have moved five times without guilt. A list nothing is deleted from becomes a source of guilt.
[ ] Rewrite vague tasks as actions
    \u201cSort out taxes\u201d sits for months. \u201cFind three articles and write down my questions\u201d is done in an evening. Start with a verb.
[ ] Break big things down to a first step
    A project cannot be \u201cdone\u201d. It has a next concrete step — and only that belongs on the weekly list.
[ ] Review the calendar for last week and next
    Last week reminds you of loose ends; next week shows how little space is left. Planning without a calendar is pointless.
[ ] Check what you are waiting on from others
    A separate \u201cwaiting for\u201d list: who, what and since when. Without it, delegated tasks vanish without trace.
[ ] Choose three to five main things for the week
    Not twenty. If everything is important, nothing is. The rest happens with leftover time, and that is fine.
[ ] Write the first step for each main thing
    A clear start removes the resistance on Monday morning, when you have the least energy for thinking.
[ ] Move ideas to a separate \u201csomeday\u201d list
    They do not belong among this week's tasks. Once a month you can look in and take something out.
[ ] Check recurring tasks and reminders
    Payments, renewals, birthdays, servicing. Recurring things belong in reminders rather than in your head.
[ ] Do not forget personal plans and rest
    If the list is only work, the week will be only work. Rest gets planned the same way tasks do.
[ ] Schedule the next review
    Until it is in the calendar it will not recur. One line that turns this into an actual habit.
