The weekly review is important, so I try to do it when I have the energy. This means during the day. Also, most of my GTD system is about work, so doing the weekly review at work during "office hours" really makes sense. I think the GTD rules are a good hint a when you should do your weekly review... "Context, time available, energy available, priority". This means you have to set aside the time, and try to do it at a time-of-day when you have energy available. To be honest, cracking open a cold beer or just sitting down in front of the propaganda box is much more likely things to do on Friday evenings... But of course, YMMV. “I often have a hard time mustering the energy to delve into a 2 hour endeavor.”

I try to do the "weekly" review on Tuesdays and Fridays. Each is shorter, therefore less prone to procrastination. 2. Because I usually do them in the mornings at work, it's Colombian coffee for me. But if I did them at home, it might be Jim Beam whiskey, Jose Cuervo Especiale tequila, or The Glenlevit scotch. Neat, that means no ice or water. 3. I'm a classic rocker also hooked on Eva Cassidy, Dave Brubeck's Take 5, and Jerry Jeff Walker. I'll check out the Brubeck song you mention. 4. I usually skip the reward by moving on to the next next action, but you're dead on about the sense of accomplishment. Regards, Glenn 1. I try to do the “weekly” review on Tuesdays and Fridays.
