How to run a weekly review
A weekly review is a short block of time (often 30–60 minutes) to look back at the past week and ahead to the next. You check what got done, what didn’t, and what’s coming: deadlines, key meetings, and priorities. Without a review, tasks slip and you lose track of commitments. With one, you start each week with a clear picture. A life assistant can help by turning a prompt about your upcoming week into a structured view: itinerary, briefs for important meetings, and action items so you can plan with less effort.
Steps
1. Block time for the review
Put a recurring weekly review on your calendar (e.g. Friday afternoon or Sunday evening). Protect it like a meeting so it doesn’t get skipped.
2. Look back and look ahead
Review what you completed and what slipped. Then list next week’s key meetings, deadlines, and appointments. Describe the week in a few sentences if you use a life assistant.
3. Get a structured view of the week
Prompt your life assistant with next week’s main events and goals. Use the returned itinerary, briefs, and action items to plan your days and set reminders for when to leave and what to cover.
4. Set top priorities for the week
Choose one to three outcomes you want by end of week. Add them to your plan or task list and tie them to specific days or blocks.
Why use a life assistant for this?
A life assistant turns a short description of your week into itinerary, briefs, and action items, so your weekly review is about making decisions instead of digging through calendars and notes.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I do a weekly review?
Once per week is enough. Many people do it at the end of the week or before the weekend so Monday starts with a clear plan.
Can a life assistant replace my weekly review?
It supports it. You still decide what matters and what to prioritize. The assistant turns your description of the week into a structured view so you spend less time organizing and more time deciding.
