Episode notes
Weekly Review: Getting Clear
- Collect loose papers, files, and materials from your workspace, briefcase, and wallet.
- Focus on current work items, not extensive backlog from the past.
Weekly Review is NOT Catch-Up Time
- Don't wait for the weekly review to process your inbox or define work, those should be daily actions.
- Use the weekly review to reflect and get back on track, ensuring everything is processed and pristine.
Meg's Weekly Review Journey
- Meg Edwards initially struggled with overlong weekly reviews, using them for catch-up and defining work instead of reflection.
- She realized this mistake after three months and adjusted her approach, shortening her reviews to 1-2 hours.
