Advice for my 1st Weekly Review?

Hey everyone!

I am getting back into GTD, and on Monday morning, I have slated a few hours to be able to complete my 1st Weekly Review! Does anyone have tips on what I should expect (besides a lot of thinking) and any tips as to what helps you during your Weekly Reviews? I have soda, relaxing music and cleared my alerts so I shouldn't have many interruptions! I do work in retail, so I am sure there will be some, but I made sure everyone knows that I need this uninterrupted office time! :)

Thank you so much for any help! GTD truly is an amazing system!
 
First, kudos for getting back into GTD!

For the Weekly Review, I would say go for progress, not perfection. However far you make it on Monday, acknowledge that for the win that it is. And on a tactical level--be sure you don't get too bogged down in backlog (email and paper). Triage backlog into piles/folders to deal with, versus dealing with them during the Review.
