How I Set Up My Weekly Review in 15 Minutes (and Why It Changed Everything)

A simple Notion ritual that helps me stay on top of tasks, goals, and sanity — without the Sunday dread.

I used to spend Sunday evenings frantically planning my week, only to feel behind by Tuesday. Then I built a 15-minute weekly review in Notion that actually works. No endless lists — just three sections: wins from last week, priority tasks for next week, and one thing I'm looking forward to.

Here's the trick: I use a template with a simple database that archives past weeks automatically. Every Sunday, I open it, reflect for 5 minutes, set 3 top priorities for the week, and close it. That's it. The key is keeping it short and focused on what matters most.

If you're tired of planning systems that feel like extra work, try this. It takes one evening to set up the template, and then it's just 15 minutes a week. Your future self will thank you.
