Weekly Review as a motivator

I often use a great post from Lifehacker as a guide for doing my weekly review. Since I have been doing a weekly review for almost a year now, I know the drill without consulting the post. Today for my weekly review I decided to revisit the post for more inspiration. See the post here.

One of the things I spent more time on this week was my calendar. This really motivated me to finish a few marketing materials for my new business. I had to look on my calendar and make sure everything was scheduled properly and that I had all the materials I needed for my week. Well I don’t have much on my calendar this week so it means I don’t have enough work this week. That was a little wake up to stop procrastinating on my new business venture here in France.

I must update this site, my CV on this site, and finish my packet of materials that I will send to potential clients when making contact for the first time. Since I don’t have much work I must use the time wisely but also use the threat of little work to motivate myself into action.

Another not so evident benefit of doing a weekly review, uncovering these kinks continues to motivate me to continue to do a weekly review, even when I don’t have much work and I know I am on top of my to do lists. Each time I find something useful about it so I am motivated to continue doing it. Do the weekly review each week.
