Reflect

The fourth of GTD’s five steps: looking at the whole system often enough to trust it — the calendar and next-action lists daily, everything in the weekly review — so that what is on the lists is current and what is in the head can be let go

Reflect is what keeps a system a system rather than a pile of lists. The weekly review is its scheduled form; the daily glance at the calendar and the context you are in is its habit form. The horizons of focus — runway, projects, areas, goals, vision, purpose — are what a longer reflection climbs; this site’s sidebar is laid out on them.
