About the Weekly Review

Most planners treat the weekly review as half a page between Sundays. Groundwork makes it a standalone precision tool — because it's the connection point between the quarterly system above and the daily execution below. Without a well-run Weekly Review, the Cascade breaks.

Methodology · The Cascade

Annual goals flow down to quarterly milestones, weekly priorities, and daily actions. This product sits in the Cascade layer — connecting the horizon above it to the execution below.

★★★★★

This is the missing piece of GTD that no one talks about. The connection between the quarterly check-in and the weekly priorities is exactly right. Been using it every Sunday for four months.

Every other weekly review template I've used was basically a mood journal. This one actually makes you think about your goals. The energy audit section is particularly good.

★★★★★

The Filofax version punches perfectly. Three-hole spacing is accurate. The layout is clean enough that it doesn't look out of place next to my existing inserts.

Questions about this product

Common questions

How long does the Weekly Review actually take?

David Allen says 30 minutes. In practice, 20–45 depending on how much has accumulated. The sheet is structured to prevent it running long — each section has a natural stopping point.

When should I do it?

Sunday evening or Monday morning before the week starts. The key is consistency — same time, same place, every week.

Do I need the Daily Focus Sheet too?

They're designed as a pair — the Weekly Review generates the week's three priorities, and the Daily Focus Sheet receives them each morning. Either works standalone, but together they form the Cascade's daily execution layer.

What size should I print?

A5 is standard. If you use a Filofax or Filofax-compatible planner, the Filofax size fits perfectly with three-hole punch.
