GTD 2006.20: Your Weekly Review Checklist

The Weekly Review is a key part of making Getting Things Done work and it is a task that repeats, and can be incrementally improved over time with a checklist. Wrapping up your week by running down your Weekly Review Checklist is a great way to complete your week.
