Weekly Review

Overview

Weekly Review helps you make a habit of reviewing your week. You make a checklist of review steps once, and Marvin adds a Do weekly review task on the day you choose every week. Clicking the task opens your checklist on the side, so it stays in view while you work through each step.

Turning it on

Turn on Weekly Review in your Features list (in the Maintenance group). Set it up on desktop or web. The review task and checklist also show on mobile.

Setting up your review

In the Weekly Review settings:

  1. On the Checklist tab, add the steps of your review, for example "Empty inbox" or "Look at next week's calendar". Drag to reorder them.

  2. On the Additional Settings tab, pick the Day of week for your review (Monday by default).

  3. Optionally choose a Parent Category, and, if you use those features, labels, priority, dread level, reward points and a duration for the review task.

Doing your review

  1. On your review day, click the Do weekly review task.

  2. Your checklist opens on the right. Tick each step as you go.

  3. When every step is ticked, click All done to complete the review.

On mobile, tap the task to open the checklist. When all steps are ticked, tap Mark Done.

Note: If you've paused all your recurring items, Marvin won't create review tasks until you unpause them.
