Why a weekly review matters
Task lists drift. Things get captured and never sorted, due dates pass quietly, and the list slowly stops telling the truth. A short weekly review is the habit that keeps it honest — and an honest list is the only kind you'll keep trusting.
Four steps, in order
The review moves from encouragement to decisions to planning, so it never starts with a pile of guilt.
- Celebrate: everything you completed in the last seven days, plus your strongest day.
- Overdue: each slipped task with buttons to move it to today or next week, or to complete it.
- Inbox: tasks that never got a list, with one-tap buttons to file them.
- Week ahead: what's due in the next seven days, with a jump to Today or the Calendar.
A small, honest scorecard
The header shows tasks completed, a follow-through rate (what you finished compared with what was in play), notes touched and the week's net income minus spending. It's a mirror, not a leaderboard — useful for noticing patterns, not for keeping score against anyone else.
Built into every mode
The Weekly Review is available in Personal, Business, Family and Ministry modes, so the same rhythm works for your own week, your household or a ministry team.

Common questions
Clear answers
What is a weekly review?
A weekly review is a short, regular check-in where you look back at what got done, deal with what slipped, sort anything unfiled and plan the week ahead. It keeps a task list trustworthy over time.
Does TaskSimply have a weekly review?
Yes. TaskSimply includes a guided Weekly Review with four steps — Celebrate, Overdue, Inbox and Week ahead — and lets you reschedule, file or complete tasks directly inside the review.
How long should a weekly review take?
About ten minutes for most people. Consistency matters more than length: the same short review every week beats an occasional long one.
Is the Weekly Review free?
Yes. TaskSimply is free to start, and the Weekly Review is included in all four modes.
