About this template
In the Getting Things Done method, the weekly review is the habit that keeps your lists trustworthy. Skip it for a few weeks and the lists fill with stale tasks you stop believing.
This is one task that repeats every Friday, with the review steps as sub-tasks in three groups. It takes about an hour.
Tips from the template
- Move it to a time you are unlikely to be interrupted.
- Work through the steps in order.
- If you only have 20 minutes, do the first group.
