GTD Weekly review

Gather all accumulated business cards, receipts, and miscellaneous paper-based materials into your in-tray.

Process completely all outstanding paper materials, journal and meeting notes, voicemails, dictation, and emails.

Put in writing and process any uncaptured new projects, action items, waiting for’s, someday maybe’s, etc.

Mark off completed actions. Review for reminders of further action steps to record.

Review past calendar in detail for remaining action items, reference data, etc., and transfer into the active system.

Review upcoming calendar events–long and short term. Capture actions triggered.

Record appropriate actions for any needed follow-up. Check off received ones.

Evaluate status of projects, goals, and outcomes, one by one, ensuring at least one current action item on each. Browse through project plans, support material, and any other work-in-progress material to trigger new actions, completions, waiting fors, etc.

Review for any projects which may now have become active, and transfer to “Projects.” Delete items no longer of interest.

Any new, wonderful, hare-brained, creative, thought-provoking, risk-taking ideas to add into your system???
