A weekly review gives you a calm overview of what you have done and what comes next.
Collect loose ends
Gather notes, emails and ideas from the week into one place. Process each item: do it, file it, schedule it or delete it.
Review your projects
Look at each current piece of work. Note its status and the next action.
Check your calendar
Look at the coming week for deadlines and commitments. Block time for important writing.
Reflect briefly
Ask what went well, what was hard and what you would change. A few lines are enough.
Set a few priorities
Choose three things that would make next week a success. Keep the list short.
Tidy your space
Clear your desk and files so you can start fresh.
Keep it light
If the routine becomes a chore, simplify it. The goal is clarity, not paperwork.
