Most entrepreneurs jump from week to week without pausing to reflect. The result? Important lessons are missed, priorities drift, and progress slows down. A weekly review is a short but powerful routine that keeps you on track and moving forward with clarity.
Why a Weekly Review Matters
Clarity – step back from the noise and see what’s really working
Focus – spot what matters most for the week ahead
Progress – celebrate wins and adjust what’s not working
It’s not about adding more work. It’s about creating a rhythm that saves you hours of wasted effort later.
The Weekly Review Template
Set aside 30–45 minutes at the end of your week. Open your calendar, planner, or notes and walk through these steps:
Reflect on wins
What did you achieve this week? Even small wins count.Check progress
Look at your goals and projects. What moved forward, what stalled, and why?Review your calendar
Where did your time actually go? Did it align with your priorities?Clear the decks
Empty your inbox, capture loose tasks, and note anything unfinished.Set next week’s priorities
Pick your top three priorities for the week ahead. Time block them first before anything else.
Example Review Questions
What am I proud of this week?
What didn’t go as planned, and what can I adjust?
What one task, if completed next week, will make everything else easier?
