weekly review

Hello, I've been using GTD for years and the Weekly Review always raises a question that I'd like your opinion on. When I work through all the items in the Weekly Review in the recommended order, I check my calendar before I check my "Waiting For" list. I often discover items in my calendar and...

I have read GTD several times, and I have implemented it at work much more than I have at home. This may be due to feeling tired after work and wanting to rest while at home. Any tips for implementing the GTD principles at home? Here are some specific questions I have: How often do you review...

Hi there, As many people (according to what I've readen/heard), the main point on which I'm facing issues to use the full potential of the GTD methodology is the weekly review. I don't manage to get even one free hour in my week. Even after having tried several moments. I tried a new way and it...

Think back to the last weekly review you felt good about. What made it a good weekly review? Why isn’t every review like that?

I have read all kinds of threads here and elsewhere about whether or not it makes sense to "link" next actions in your GTD tool. Apparently I am not the first to have consternation over this. The consensus seems to be that you should not "link" next actions to a project directly. Instead, GTD...

I got a few questions on what is my weekly review and how do my tickler tools participate in the review process. I thought I will document my process for answering that question. https://medium.com/@criticalmind/gtd-the-weekly-review-checklist-ba05175a69d5

I've been feeling overwhelmed at work so I arranged a work from home day for today, with the goal to get an uninterrupted, high quality weekly review and regain a sense of control. I started at 9:30 am (30 minutes later than I planned) and finished at 4:30 pm, with only a 30 minute break for...

One of the items of the weekly review, under the "Get Current" heading, is the "Review any relevant checklists." Well, right now I don't have any such checklists and am wondering if I'm somehow missing out on something, or if I am making things too complicated by having implicit checklists in...

What's your average review frequency? Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or ad hoc? Like many others on here, I love the philosophy and power of GTD but struggle with Weekly Reviews. I tend to review a little bit of the system every few days but don't often nominate a day to do a full, proper David...

Hello all, (long thread -- brace yourselves :) ) I would like to get some feedback for what you think about how "projects" are defined and how they should accordingly be handled. Up until now, I have never adhered strictly to DA's rule that a project is anything that requires more than 1 step...

Hi, I am working on re-establishing my GTD Weekly Review. One of the things I have struggled with over the past few years was how to do a weekly review for all of my responsibilities at work and running a household. I work outside the home full time, and was trying to figure out if I should be...

Hello GTD Friends, I am looking to start an accountability partnership with at least one person. Basically, I am hoping this partnership will serve to help us start or stick with a consistent habit of weekly reviews. And grow other habits over time through sharing insights, etc. Even though...

Hi all, I have been getting into GTD over the last year and a half now. I finally managed to clear up the immense in-bucket i had sitting in my study. I though it was what kept me from doing a weekly review, turns out, it wasn't. In GTD terms my life is roughly divided into three jobs, job 1...

I was inspired by the "Beyond the Basics" webinar to find an accountability buddy to support each other in doing our weekly reviews. About Me: * I've been doing GTD for about five years, and consistent weekly reviews for most of it. However, I fell off the bandwagon a year ago, and am now...

I'm looking for ideas to make my Weekly Reviews more satisfying! One thing I do is put on my "Weekly Review" music playlist in iTunes. I picked songs that really get me in the mood. Occasionally I'll also take my lists with me on a walk in the park and do it on a park bench out in nature. What...

I sat down at 10am this morning with two hours blocked to do a weekly review - but I have 215 unprocessed emails in my inbox! And they are all current i.e. received within the last 3 days. If I work to get my inbox to zero I am not going to get to the weekly review. Help!

Hello all, As i have expanded my GTD universe to have all of my lists readily available at all times on my phone I find myself not putting thoughts into the inbox, but instead i put them directly on the list where they 'belong', usually next actions or someday/maybe. Sometimes even projects...
