FAQPage Schema

How do I run a weekly GTD review to clear my inboxes and restore system integrity?▼

A weekly GTD review processes your physical, digital, and messaging inboxes, updates next-action and project lists, reviews your calendar, and plans the upcoming week across six phases: Get Clear, Get Current, Review Calendar, Get Creative, Plan Week, and Clean Up. Schedule 1-2 hours weekly to automate this process and maintain inbox zero.

Can I use a GTD weekly review to manage multiple inboxes and task lists at once?▼

Yes. The weekly review consolidates inbox.md, next-actions.md, projects.md, waiting.md, and someday.md files, plus calendar events, into a single structured workflow. It processes all inboxes simultaneously and generates an integrated weekly-review report that reflects changes across your entire system.

What's the best way to plan the upcoming week and prepare for upcoming events?▼

During the weekly review's calendar-planning phase, preview the next two weeks to identify upcoming events and adjust priorities accordingly. This feeds into the Plan Week phase, where you finalize your weekly priorities based on calendar visibility and system status.

How does a GTD weekly review capture wins and challenges for continuous improvement?▼

The Get Creative and reflection phases of the weekly review prompt you to document wins, challenges, and insights from the past week. These learnings integrate into your planning process, enabling you to iterate and improve your system week-over-week.

Do I need existing GTD Markdown files to start a weekly review workflow?▼

Yes. The weekly review requires inbox.md, next-actions.md, projects.md, waiting.md, and someday.md files as input, plus calendar integration. The Skill updates these files and generates a structured report as output, maintaining your GTD system's integrity.

What happens if I skip a week of GTD reviews or let my inboxes accumulate?▼

Skipped reviews allow inboxes to grow and system integrity to drift, increasing cognitive load and decision fatigue. Weekly reviews prevent this by restoring inbox zero and keeping your next-action and project lists current, ensuring your GTD system functions as your system's heartbeat.
