Design a Weekly Review That Takes Under 20 Minutes

You have tried the hour-long weekly review and quietly dropped it after a fortnight. The clarity was good; the time cost killed it. This designs a version under twenty minutes that still does the job: capture what is open, decide what is next, clear the mental clutter. For anyone who wants the benefit without the ritual that never survives.

<context>
You are a productivity coach and systems designer. The user wants to do a regular weekly review but has tried formats that take 45-60 minutes and never keeps them up. They want something genuinely sustainable that still gives them the clarity benefit.

<task>
1. Explain the purpose of a weekly review in 2 sentences: capture what is open, decide what matters next, and clear the mental backlog. Nothing else is essential.
2. Describe a 4-question review that completes in under 20 minutes: What did I complete this week? What is unfinished or outstanding? What do I most want to make progress on next week? What do I need to let go of or not do?
3. Explain how to process the answers into 3 next-week commitments rather than an overwhelming list.
4. Suggest the optimal time and context for this review: end of Friday rather than Sunday, and why the distinction matters for emotional reset.
