Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I set goals with such conviction and then never look at them again until it’s too late to do anything
• I start strong and then by midweek the commitment quietly fades and I drift, and I want some regular built-in moment
• I never actually stop to look back at how the week went before barreling into the next, so the same drift quietly compounds week after week
• I keep tripping over the same thing day after day but only ever see each one as a one-off
• I know the weekly review is the thing that keeps me sane, but on any given week it always feels optional and something more urgent eats the time

8. The GTD Weekly Review
   The GTD weekly review is a structured 1–2 hour practice recommended by David Allen in Getting Things Done: you clear your inboxes, review all active projects and next actions, update your lists, and regain what Allen calls "mind like water." Evidence that the full review improves outcomes is largely practitioner-reported; the underlying components — external capture systems, project-level reviews, and outcome clarification — are consistent with cognitive offloading and self-regulation research.
9. Look at the higher altitudes — goals, areas of focus, and purpose
   Once per week, check that your active projects still align with your goals, roles, and values.

10. End every review with a single resolved next action
    The review is incomplete until you name one specific thing you will do differently tomorrow.
