We all love planners. They’re cute, funky and bought with the best intentions to organise and revolutionise our lives so we get the most out of every day. I’m no different, I have the cutest little planner in the world and I love tracking everything BUT if we don’t have a practice and system for using them, they’re just going to be a fancy notebook sitting on our desk full of our hopes, dreams and lists. 

In today’s episode, I’m taking you through the system that has changed my life - the weekly review. This system has been influenced by the Getting Things Done program by David Allen and my own coaching knowledge, experience and wisdom. 

I’ll take you through the exact steps of how to do a weekly review and how you can tweak them to be specific for you because we’re not all the same. Trust me, by dedicating an hour or two every week to reset, clear out your inboxes, clear desks, look back on what you’ve done, celebrate the wins, learn from the losses, look at what worked and planning your week ahead - you’ll gain so much clarity around how you’re spending your time, what you’ve accomplished and where you need to focus in the upcoming weeks. 

Life happens, stuff pops up and we get distracted. We’re human! By incorporating a weekly review in, you’ll be like a pilot constantly readjusting the flight path to stay on course. 

This is the best method I’ve found to take control and stop just ignoring things and hoping they go better next time. You will start to feel organised when you bring attention to what is unconscious, reviewing weekly will change your life, I promise you that!
