Understanding Weekly Planning vs. Reviewing

The distinction between weekly planning and reviewing past activities is crucial for efficiency. Weekly planning focuses on future commitments and objectives, while the traditional weekly review often involves sifting through completed tasks from numerous projects. This difference can significantly impact the time spent on planning; a review, as defined by the Getting Things Done method, can take an extensive amount of time when managing numerous projects. By shifting the mindset from reviewing to planning, individuals can streamline their sessions and focus on actionable items for the upcoming week.
