A weekly review is a conversation with your future self. Calendars show commitments; task lists show wishes. Meetings without an agenda tend to produce more meetings.

Context
I stopped optimising my tools and started finishing my tasks. Habits stick when the first step is almost embarrassingly small. The system that survives is the one simple enough to restart after a bad week. Writing things down turns worry into a list.
Most of my productivity came from doing fewer things on purpose. The best note is the one you can find again.
