[0:00] hey there my name is tiago forte and

[0:02] this is a walkthrough of my weekly

[0:04] review this is the exact process that I

[0:07] follow every week to go from total chaos

[0:09] in my digital world all the way to total

[0:13] clarity on what I need to get done that

[0:15] week let's start at the very beginning

[0:18] the first thing I want to do before

[0:20] diving into all these random files on my

[0:22] desktop or my email inbox is to bring

[0:24] out my weekly review checklist so I'm

[0:27] going to do a little search for stickies

[0:29] which is the built-in stickies program

[0:31] that comes with every Mac and I just

[0:34] have one little digital sticky note here

[0:36] which is my weekly review checklist

[0:38] which is only five items I can see here

[0:41] this is supposed to be number three so

[0:43] really this is the checklist I want to

[0:45] follow and I want to do things randomly

[0:47] or haphazardly I want to do things in

[0:48] order in an order that makes sense and

[0:51] that I know what's coming and everything

[0:53] is predictable

[0:54] so let's actually start with email to do

[0:57] that I'll open up Chrome and I have here

[1:00] in my bookmarks bar I use an email

[1:03] program called superhuman but it looks

[1:05] very much the same in Gmail which is

[1:08] what most people use I have this sorted

[1:11] in reverse chronological order where the

[1:13] most recent emails are at the very top

[1:16] but I actually don't want to start here

[1:18] I want to start at the oldest stuff that

[1:20] way I'm sure that I'm really

[1:21] comprehensively taking care of every

[1:24] single thing in my email inbox so I'm

[1:25] gonna go down to the bottom and you can

[1:28] see here today is May 18th so I have

[1:30] about four day
