Weekly Work Review Checklist
A weekly review is a small habit with an outsized payoff: an hour to close out the week, catch what's slipping, and start Monday with a plan instead of a scramble. This checklist walks through reviewing your progress, clearing the decks, and setting next week's priorities. See more work checklists.

Weekly Work Review Checklist · 15 items
-
Review what you finished this week against what you planned
The gap between intent and reality is where the useful lessons are.
-
Check progress on each ongoing project and flag anything at risk
-
Capture loose ends: unread messages, half-done tasks, open loops
-
Clear and organize your inbox to a manageable state
Reply, archive, or turn each one into a task — don't leave it as a to-do in disguise.
-
Follow up on anything you're waiting on from other people
-
Review next week's calendar, deadlines, and meetings
Decline or reschedule anything that doesn't need you.
-
Update your task list and set the top three priorities for next week
Keep it short so the important work actually gets done.
-
Note key decisions and update project docs while they're fresh
-
Reflect on what went well and what you'd do again
-
Pick one thing to improve or handle differently next week
-
Log your wins and progress for later reviews
You'll have forgotten most of them by appraisal season.
-
Check in on your longer-term goals, not just this week's tasks
-
Tidy your files, desktop, and notes so Monday starts clean
-
Block focus time for your most important work next week
Protect it before meetings fill the calendar.
-
Note anything to raise with your manager or team
