Mastering Reviews with OmniFocus
January 10, 2018 | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PST
Performing regularly reviews is key to having a productivity system that is reliable, useful and trusted. This practice also provides the opportunity to rise above the day-to-day tasks and to look at the big picture of your life and work. Ultimately, reviews help ensure that the projects and actions you’ve defined are taking you down a productive path.
Overview of Live Session
If you’re not currently performing regular reviews, this session is designed to help you get started. And if you do have a review practice, what you’ll learn will support you in taking your reviews to the next level.
The GTD Weekly Review®
We’ll draw some wisdom from the GTD Weekly Review®, that’s an integral part of David Allen’s Getting Things Done® (GTD®) approach to productivity. In a nutshell, this approach has three distinct components:
- Get Clear — Gather everything that has your attention and process your physical and digital inboxes to zero.
- Get Current — Review and evaluate your projects, single action lists, waiting lists, and longer-term goals and outcomes.
- Get Creative — Review your someday/maybe lists and unleash your creative prowess.
What You’ll Learn
Attend the live session and learn:
- Why reviews are so important and the consequences of not doing regular reviews.
- Strategies for getting into the habit of performing regular reviews and common pitfalls to watch out for.
