Collect loose ends

Gather notes, downloads, inbox items and reminders that accumulated during the week.

Review active projects

Check whether each active project has a clear next action, a blocker or a reason to pause.

Look backward and forward

Review the recent calendar for unfinished follow-up and the upcoming calendar for preparation needs.

Set a realistic next-week load

Choose fewer commitments than the theoretical maximum. Leave room for the work you cannot predict on Monday.
