Any tool you use will take effort to keep clean and current, so that you can trust your action choices. The Wunderlist application is no exception. Rest assured, the Weekly Review is what ties this whole thing together, ensuring that you have actions for all the active parts of your projects on a consistent basis, so you can trust that what you are choosing from your next action lists is current. The Weekly Review steps include:

Get Clear

• Capture Loose Papers and Materials
• Gather all accumulated business cards, receipts, and miscellaneous paper-based materials into your in-tray.
• Get "IN" to Zero
• Clarify completely all outstanding paper materials, journal and meeting notes, voicemails, dictation, and emails.
• Empty Your Head
• Put in writing and clarify any uncaptured new projects, action items, waiting for's, someday/maybe's, etc.

Get Current

• Review Next Actions Lists
• Mark off completed actions. Review for reminders of further action steps to record,
• Review Previous Calendar Data
• Review past calendar in detail for remaining action items, reference data, etc., and transfer into the active system.
• Review Upcoming Calendar
• Review upcoming calendar events-long and short term. Capture actions triggered.
• Review Waiting For List
• Record appropriate actions for any needed follow-up. Check off received ones.
• Review Project (and Larger Outcome) Lists
• Evaluate status of projects, goals, and outcomes, one by one, ensuring at least one current action item on each.
• Browse through project plans, support material, and any other work-in-progress material to trigger new actions, completions, waiting for's, etc.

Get Creative
