Performing regular reviews is key to having a productivity system that is reliable, useful, and trusted. This practice also provides the opportunity to rise above the day-to-day tasks and to look at the big picture of your life and work. Ultimately, reviews help ensure that the projects and actions you’ve defined are taking you down a productive path.
Overview of the LIVE Session
If you’re not currently performing regular reviews, this session is designed to help you get started. And if you do have a review practice, what you’ll learn will support you in taking your reviews to the next level.
We’ll cover the full gamut of review frequencies, including daily reviews that help keep your system aligned on a day-to-day basis, weekly reviews that give you the opportunity to get “clear, current, and creative” (to use David Allen’s terms), and monthly, quarterly, and annual reviews designed to help you navigate the bigger picture of your life and work.
