Perhaps the most important meeting that you'll have all week is the one that you have with yourself.
I highly recommend that everyone set aside time for a weekly review.
What's a weekly review?
A weekly review is a time set aside just for you so you can take a look back at the previous week, see if there is anything that you need to follow up on.
Take a look at your core projects and your key commitments, see if you're going to be able to meet those pre-negotiated deadlines.
Also, it's a great opportunity to take a look at the week ahead, see what's coming up, and make sure that you're prepared.
Now, a difficult thing can be to find a time, the ideal time for you to have a weekly review.
You may need to do some trial and error to find the best time for you.
Initially, I started doing my weekly reviews on Friday afternoon.
It still gave me enough time if there was something that came up during that review, that I could reach out to someone or follow up with someone.
However, I realized that my energy levels started to drain at that part of the day, that part of the week.
As a result, I was much more prone to defer or just skip the weekly review altogether.
Therefore, I decided to change it, and now I do it first thing Friday morning.
I'm fresh, and the chances of another meeting or something else conflicting with that time are very, very low.
So find a time that's ideal for you.
It can be as little as 30 minutes, but don't skip out on your weekly review.
It's very simple.
