A GTD weekly review you'll actually do
The weekly review is the heart of GTD — and the first thing people skip. AltoFocus turns it from a blank page into a short, guided conversation.
For anyone who has tried GTD but never kept the review going for more than three weeks.
Weekly review
Project 3 of 8New website for a client
- No next action1
- Overdue2
- Waiting — over 7 days1
“Send assets to the designer” is 9 days overdue. Move it to Monday, or cancel it?
The situation
Tom is a project manager. He knows he should go through every project each Friday, but at 2:30 pm his head is full and an eighty-item list puts him off. He postpones the review, the system drifts from reality, and a month later he stops trusting it.
What it looks like in AltoFocus
A reminder at the time you choose
On Friday morning AltoFocus prepares your review and sends a notification. The groundwork is done: what's overdue, what's stalled, what you're waiting for.
Project by project, one question at a time
The guide shows one project and its problem at a time: no next action, a missed due date, a task waiting on someone for over a week. Fix it with one tap, or put the project on hold.
AI suggests a clean-up, you decide
On the Altitude plan, with AI switched on, it proposes concrete steps — complete what's done, cancel what's stale, add a next action. Nothing is deleted without your confirmation.
A view from above at the end
The last step compares your goals and vision with your projects: which goals have no action, and which projects lead to nothing you care about.
What changes
- A review in 30 minutes instead of two hours (or never).
- Every active project has a clear next action.
- The waiting-for list doesn't get lost in e-mail.
