weekly-review

Runs a timeboxed weekly review - empty every inbox to a decision, audit every open commitment, and pick the 3-5 outcomes that define next week. Use when someone asks "walk me through a weekly review", "help me plan my week", "my task system feels stale and I don't trust it", or "I keep dropping commitments". Do NOT use for setting up the underlying capture-and-organize system itself - use gtd-system instead - or for tracking long-horizon personal goals with an accountability loop - use goals-accountability instead.

# Weekly Review

The weekly review is the maintenance ritual that keeps a productivity system trustworthy. Skip it two weeks in a row and the lists go stale, the brain stops trusting them, and everything moves back into working memory - which is the exact failure the system existed to prevent. Run it as a repeatable checklist at a fixed time, not as a guilt session, and it takes 60-90 minutes to buy a week of clear-headed execution.

## Operating procedure

The three phases run in this order because each depends on the last: you cannot audit projects honestly (get current) while unprocessed inputs hide commitments (get clear), and you cannot pick next week's outcomes (get ahead) from a project list you have not audited.

### Step 1: gather inputs (5 minutes)

Collect before starting; if the user cannot produce one, note it as a gap in their system and continue.

- The list of inboxes. Default set: email, chat, notes app, task-manager inbox, physical desk/papers. If they name fewer than three, ask where meeting commitments land - there is almost always a hidden inbox.
- The project list, waiting-for list, and someday/maybe list.
