The weekly review is what keeps a GTD system trustworthy, and it’s also the step most people quietly skip. tingdo makes it something you actually do. A guided pass walks you through clearing your inbox, checking your projects, and getting current, one item at a time. You don’t have to hold the process in your head or remember which step comes next. tingdo carries the structure, so all your attention goes to the one thing that matters: the decisions. No template to build, no checklist to rebuild each week. And since some weeks need a quick pass and others a proper sit-down, you choose how deep to go.
Three ways to review
Pick the depth that fits the week. tingdo guides every one of them the same calm way.
- Speed Review. Inbox and next actions, nothing else. For when you just need to get current in a couple of minutes.
- Simple Review. Every list, one by one. Confirm a whole list at once when nothing has changed, so the quiet weeks stay quick.
- Focused Review. Pick the projects you’ll focus on this week, then walk through every list. For the proper weekly sit-down, when you want to get clear, current, and creative.
What you get
- A guided weekly review that runs the whole process with you, instead of leaving you a checklist to maintain.
- Three review modes, from a two-minute pass to a full review, so the habit survives the busy weeks.
- Inbox processing, so you can get to empty whenever you choose.
- A steady rhythm that catches stalled projects and quiet commitments before they turn into problems.
How it works
- Start a review and choose how deep to go: Speed, Simple, or Focused.
- tingdo leads you through each stage: empty the inbox, review next actions, check projects and their queue, scan Waiting For and Someday/Maybe.
- Make decisions as you go: defer, delegate, drop, or activate.
- Finish knowing your system reflects reality again.
Why it matters
- Without a regular review, lists drift out of date, and you stop trusting them.
- The review is the step most GTD setups leave to willpower. When the steps run themselves, the only thing left to do is the part you actually came to do: decide.
- The feeling afterwards isn’t “I did it all.” It’s “I know where I stand.” That quiet confidence is the whole point.
