To read my complete journey to GTD Mastery see the main post.
Step 17 to GTD Mastery is: I have a weekly review scheduled for each week.
I have a reminder set up on my cell phone for 7:00 AM on Sundays. My family is still sleeping so I’m able to perform the weekly review free of distractions.
Ricky Spears posted a must-read article on “Why We Resist the Weekly Review and Plan (and What You Can Do About It)”. At the top of the list: it’s not on our calendar. When I first started GTD, I brushed aside my weekly review almost every week because I didn’t actually set an appointment with myself.
The next step was actually creating a list of what I wanted to do in my weekly review (next actions). gtdfrk’s weekly review checklist provided an excellent starting block. I customized it to fit my system and life.

You can read my favourite posts on weekly reviews at my del.icio.us page. It covers posts on personal development-oriented weekly reviews as well as the literal GTD weekly review.
For anyone still feeling intimidated by the weekly review, I’m going to finish off with a quote from Ricky,
The only wrong weekly review is no weekly review at all.

Hi,
Good point mentioning the Weekly review. It is an integral part of any GTD system IMHO. I have also written about the Weekly review, check out my blog.
