Plexii glossary
Weekly review
A recurring check of inboxes, commitments, calendars and priorities used to prepare the coming week.
What it means
A recurring session to clear inboxes, review commitments and plan the coming week; its best-known form is in David Allen’s Getting Things Done — A 30-minute agenda people can copy.
The term is most useful as a shared description. It does not remove the need to look at the actual task, evidence or constraint in front of you.
A practical example
Friday’s review clears captures, checks next week’s calendar, closes finished tasks and chooses three priorities.
Put it into practice
- Name the concrete situation before applying the label. Weekly review is useful only when it changes a choice, boundary or next action.
- Make the state visible: write the owner, time, source or stopping condition down instead of relying on memory.
- Review what happened. Keep the part that reduced ambiguity and change the part that added ceremony without helping the work.
