ADVICE

Daily Review for Weekly Review Efficiency

  • Implement a daily review of top-of-mind items and filter tasks by due dates.
  • This approach helps maintain awareness of system contents and reduces weekly review overload.
ADVICE

Time-boxed Weekly Reviews

  • If short on time, dedicate a specific amount of time to the weekly review, even if it's just an hour.
  • Consistency is key to maintaining trust in the system, even if the review isn't fully comprehensive.
ADVICE

Empty Your Head

  • Write down and process any uncaptured items during the "empty your head" phase.
  • This includes new projects, action items, waiting fors, and someday maybes.
