WEEKLY REVIEW 1

This year I will do my utmost to take time and do a weekly review of my worklife activities. I will start out with the first week to say that I must start to block out time for the weekly review.

What do think is the best time to do a weekly review? I have set the alarm on Saturday at 8 AM for a point in time for reflection and introspection. Maybe a morning during the weekend will be a good time for a weekly review?

Things to go through:

• Scan through the appointments and notes in the Moleskine notebook that have been during the week. Go back a couple of weeks to see if I have missed something and browse ahead a couple of weeks in the calendar to see what is coming up in the near future.

• Check the personal kanban workflow whiteboards (to-do, doing, done). Any bottlenecks or constraints?

• Go through the Eisenhower matrix with do first things, scheduled activities, delegated stuff and things that I shouldn't do at all.

• Check in-basket for papers that should put into the workflow system or filed away ("tickler" file, reference material, or circular file).

• Scan through email messages in the inbox, archive old stuff, and do an Unroll.me session.

• Check the mobile phone for updates and notifications.

• Write down to-do things, next actions, and update Trello project board app.

• Read some pages in a productivity / time management book or e-book.

• Go out for a walk, listening to a podcast or audio book.

How would you conduct a weekly review?
