When we assign some task to somebody, it can so easily get lost as there is no mechanism to keep track of that person's feedback. Hence this point deserves the special mention.

Add Sticky NoteThis is a list of items I have delegated to others and are important enough to track. If something is overdue, or if I need a progress report, I send an e-mail and nudge the person responsible.

Gather all loose papers and process. I empty everything out of my briefcase, my inbox, and my wallet. I then go through each piece of paper and make a decision what to do with it. Following David’s model, I first decide if I it is something that requires me to take action. If not, I have three options. I can: Trash it; Add it to my Someday/Maybe list; or File it for future reference. If the item requires me to take action, I can: Do it if it takes less than two minutes or add it to my Outlook task list to do later; Defer it by actually scheduling a time on my calendar to deal with it; or Delegate it to someone else for action and enter it into my Outlook task list using the “@WaitingFor” category. Launch GoBinder and process my notes. GoBinder is the software I am currently using on my TabletPC to take notes in meetings. I quickly read back through my notes. I either look for action items that I agreed to do (I mark these in the meeting with a star) or actions items I want to do based on my review. Review previous calendar data. I look over the previous week’s meetings in Outlook (using the Weekly view) and see if there is anything I missed. For example, I don't usually take notes in lunch meetings, but I may want to follow-up with a thank you note or a gift. Review upcoming calendar. This is one of the most important parts of the Weekly Review. I note any upcoming meetings with an eye to the preparation I need to do. This keeps me ahead of the curve and my assignments on track. (I am amazed at how many business people show up at a meeting without reviewing their previous assignments. This makes them look sloppy and incompetent. Reality is that they don’t have a process in place for systematic review of previous meetings and assignments.) Review my action lists. I also try to do this daily, but during the Weekly Review I ask myself the question, “What do I really need to accomplish this week?” If it’s a really important task,
