The Week in Review

I'm asking myself how it got to be Friday again already! Due to a day off school on Monday of this week, my routine seemed to be a bit off kilter and some major items never got accomplished this week as they should have. On the bright side, I volunteered at my son's high school this week, entertained friends in my home, managed to gather my family at the dinner table for a meal every night this week and have a date scheduled with my husband for tonight. While a few things slipped through the cracks workwise, overall I'm happy with the way I spent my time this week.

David Allen of GTD and my favorite Life Coach Mike St. Pierre of the Daily Saint both advise a thorough weekly review to check in on items left pending at the end of each week. David Allen has made his weekly review format available for free download and customization to suit your individual needs . Owing to Eric and Adam's schedules on Friday afternoons, I find Friday morning to be a great time to do my weekly review. Having a sense of what actions remain open and a plan for next week helps me enter the weekend less stressed out about unfinished items on my to do list. With faith and family as my biggest priorities, time spent at Eucharistic Adoration or a special family meal on Valentine's day sometimes trump other items. What did this week hold for you, and what lies ahead next week?
