The weekly review is the way to monitor your progress towards acheiving goals and to take the time to plan.

1. Review the past week and your schedule for the upcoming week.
2. Review your mission statement and goal and project plans.
3. Develop goal and project plans and add more action steps as needed.
4. Select items to take action on this week from your calendar, repeating tasks and work duties, goal and project plans, and personal development plan.
5. Plan menus for the week and schedule items from your master list.
