What’s a Weekly Review?
A weekly review is a set of best practices that, when done consistently every week, have the power to keep you functioning at optimal productivity. It’s a time to slow down and gain altitude over your current commitments and priorities.
If you Google “GTD weekly review” you’ll get about 1.1 Million search results. The vast majority of the results are articles about how to stick with the weekly review habit. It’s no surprise that most people find it challenging to keep up with the discipline of reviewing everything, every week.
Many of my clients are already familiar with the concept of a weekly review when they come to me. Time and time again, they confide in me that they haven’t been able to stick with it, and they often feel a sense of guilt about not doing it.
I’m redefining the Weekly Review!
I’m asking every one of my clients to re-define the weekly review. Take it off your “should” list. Take it off your “have to” list. We’re going to re-define the weekly review as a weekly delight.
Many people don’t realize that the weekly review is more than just updating your lists. There’s tremendous value in doing that regularly! However, I believe the secret power of the weekly review is celebrating yourself and your accomplishments regularly.
Effortless and Enjoyable
I challenge you to try my effortless and enjoyable weekly review. Here’s how it works:
Wrap up your week by acknowledging and appreciating yourself for 3-5 things you did well. I suggest you schedule 10 minutes near the end of your week. Put it on your calendar right now.
The size of the accomplishment does not matter. It can be as simple as:
“I appreciate myself for working on the marketing report this week.”
“I appreciate myself for keeping calm during that tense meeting.”
“I appreciate myself for spending more time with my kids.”
“I appreciate myself for making that dentist appointment I had been putting off.”
Self-Acknowledgment is the first step towards building a powerful weekly process.
