The six-step review that keeps your system current and trustworthy.
Why review
A weekly review keeps the system trustworthy. Open Review from the Reflect group to start. It walks you through six steps.
- Process Inbox. Get the Inbox to empty. Clarify each item as Next, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Reference, or delete it. See Processing your Inbox.
- Review Next. Check that your Next list is still right.
- Review Waiting For. Follow up on what you are waiting for. See Waiting For.
- Review Projects. Every Active Project needs a clear next step. Look for the warnings. See Projects.
- Review Someday/Maybe. Move anything you are ready to act on, and drop what no longer interests you.
- Review Areas of Focus. Check that nothing important is being neglected. See Areas of Focus.
