Momentum isn’t luck; it’s a rhythm. A two‑hour weekly review builds that rhythm without overwhelm. Set a recurring appointment same day, same time and treat it like a client meeting. Part 1: Clear (30 minutes). Inbox to zero (reply, defer, archive), desktop tidy, downloads emptied, notes consolidated. Part 2: Reflect (20 minutes). What worked? What dragged? Where did you feel energized? Write three sentences. Part 3: Plan (40 minutes). Choose one theme for the week, three outcomes that prove the week “worked,” and define next actions for each. Book a daily 45‑minute deep‑work block for Outcome #1. Part 4: Prepare (20 minutes). Stage tools, files, and environments so Monday you can start without thinking. If helpful, write a “future you” note: the first step you’ll take and why it matters. Keep the review on a single page and resist adding more than three outcomes. Momentum grows from clear endings and deliberate beginnings; this review gives you both. Two hours seems like a cost until you notice the return: fewer false starts, calmer days, and a week that points in one direction instead of five.
