Re-Establish the Weekly Review Habit

Reviewing where you are and where you’re going is presented as a critical but often overlooked part of personal development. The page says weekly reviews help you reconnect with your work and purpose, instead of letting daily tasks and small fires crowd out bigger goals.

It also notes that lists and day-to-day mini-reviews are easier to keep up than larger weekly, monthly, and yearly reviews. The point of the weekly review is to see where you are, where you are going, and what the next tasks need to be to get there.
