Kelly Forrister over at GTD Times has picked up on idea to lead a global GTD Weekly Review because its a critical success factor that is so often not done.  Here’s a short quote from her post:

“Our goal could be to make the weekly review fun – remove the mystery – remove the feeling of “have to” that so many people put on it.”

So, here’s how it will work:

On Thursday, May 28th from 10AM-11AM Pacific Time (check your local time), clear your schedule to do a GTD Weekly Review.  Follow me @GTDCoachKelly, or follow the tag #Tweekly.  I’ll walk everyone through the GTD Weekly Review checklist.  We’ll have 5 minutes per step before moving on to the next one.  Yes, 5 minutes.  Idea is to get you through a taste of all of 11 steps.  If you’re not done with a step, just bookmark your next actions list with what’s left and move on to the next one.  I’ll Tweet the step and an explanation of what you can do.  Or, if you are so inspired and getting good stuff out of the step you’re on, stay there. There’s no “should” here except to get whatever value you want to get out of it!

I encourage every GTDer to get on board with this.  It can’t be over emphasised the importance of not only the weekly review, but also the enjoying of doing the weekly review (I mean that!)

Users of eProductivity are spoiled on this count because Eric Mack has built in a Weekly Review Coach.

Just go to eProductivity > Weekly Review Coach and follow the extremely helpful prompts.

Even better, everything you need to do is done from within the coach.  No need to switch from window to window and back, trying to remember just what you were supposed to do.

And no chance to forget a part of the review because it gets a big red tick once completed.

Once again, thanks Eric for such an integrated approach to GTD.
