It is paramount that during a Weekly Review, you have empty inboxes. And if you have kids, it is also helpful to look through this list for moms and dads. Sidenote: If you want a markdown version of this list to copy into the tool of your choice, I have it translated here. I can’t say they are 100%, but they feel close enough that the mind sweep does happen. By going through this list, I have found my mind sweeps more complete and more effective. So I need a little help here and the one thing I found to help is reading the Incompletion Trigger List. What’s the point if it won’t be complete anyway? And because I know I will forget things, I have zero motivation to start the task of a mind sweep in the first place.
I will always forget things and they will haunt me later. I do not have the wherewithal to sit down and write out everything on my mind. But saying you need to do a mind sweep only works if you know how to do that. In most cases, that translates to the mind sweep.
And that means you need to start by capturing all the loose ends. The core of the Weekly Review is to bring the whole GTD system up-to-date. The goal is to fall off less as time goes on. We all fall off the horse when learning, myself included. If you take the idea of eliminating small obstacles to the commitment of a Weekly Review, we can find ways to streamline the review and use it as a tool for setting up our commitments for the week ahead. Or we find little tricks to keep us engaged in a daily habit of writing. We talk about the need to set out clothes to prepare for a run in the morning. Usually, when we discuss the Steven Pressfield concept of resistance we mention small obstacles that prevent us from doing large tasks.
Otherwise, if you have an instant gratification mind like mine, you will find every excuse possible to doing the Weekly Review and doing it well. It takes time to do it right and it requires thinking at a level that is less than enjoyable.Īnd that means we need to remove as much resistance to the process as possible. The GTD Weekly Review is likely one of the most talked about and most resisted aspects of following the GTD methodology. Top Tools for Eliminating Resistance to The GTD Weekly Review
