Weekly Review
Capture1
Collect every open loop
Get commitments out of your head and into one place before you try to decide anything.
- Empty your notes app and paper notes
- Skim your inbox for unanswered commitments
- Walk through your calendar for the last two weeks
- Write down what is quietly bothering you
Clarify1
Empty capture list
Turn every captured item into a next action, waiting item, someday item, or delete it.
- Is it actionable? If not, delete it or park it in Someday
- If it takes two minutes, do it now
- If someone else owns it, move it to Waiting
- Otherwise write the very next physical action
This Week2
Choose three committed outcomes
Keep this week narrow enough to finish.
Block time for the hardest one
The outcome you are avoiding is the one that needs a calendar slot, not a reminder.
Waiting1
Check all waiting items
Send follow-ups or move stale items back to clarify.
Someday1
Park ideas instead of deleting them
Someday is what makes it safe to say no this week without losing the idea.
Done1
Run the weekly review
The review is the habit that keeps the rest of the board trustworthy.
- Empty Capture to zero
- Reread every card in This Week and Waiting
- Scan Someday for anything now worth doing
- Check next week's calendar for hidden work
- Choose the three outcomes for next week

01
When to use this board
For people who already work in a GTD style and want the weekly review to survive a real week.
02
How to run this board
Collect every open loop in Capture.
Empty notes, inbox, and calendar into Capture before deciding anything.
Clarify each item into a next action.
Delete it, park it in Someday, move it to Waiting, or write its next physical action.
Commit to three outcomes in This Week.
Block calendar time for the hardest one. Tick through the review card every Friday.
03
What this creates
6 stacks, 3 labels, and 7 starter cards with 13 checklist steps.
04
Standard Deck objects only
The result is an ordinary Deck board that you edit like any other. With a Nextcloud account, Deckloud writes it straight to your server, with no relay.
05
Safe import rules
The file holds no server IDs. Due dates count from the day you create the board, and checklists are Markdown task lists in card descriptions.
FAQ
Practical questions
Does the template include comments or attachments?
No. Comments need an author, and attachments differ between servers and Deck versions, so v1 templates hold text only.
Do I need to know GTD to use this board?
No. The stack names say what each state means, and the review card lists the steps.
What goes in Someday rather than being deleted?
Anything you would regret losing but will not act on for weeks. Someday keeps This Week short.
