A weekly review is a regular half hour where you look back at the past week and decide what the next one holds. In Heym it runs through six screens you already have, in this order: Home, Goals, Habits, the Inbox, Today and Upcoming. This page walks through each one, then shows how to keep notes from your reviews. ## Put the review on your calendar A review you have to remember is a review you skip. Make it a repeating task so it shows up every week, with a reminder. **1. Create the task** Press **C**, type `Weekly review` and click **Create**. The task goes to your Inbox until you give it a date. **2. Pick a day and time** Open the task and click **Date**. Choose the day you want to review, for example Sunday, and set a **Start time** and a **Duration**. **3. Make it repeat** In the same picker, click **Repeat** and choose **Weekly**. The task now repeats on that weekday. For another rhythm, such as every other week, use **Custom**. See [Repeating tasks](/help/repeating-tasks.md). **4. Set the reminder** Click **Reminders**. When you picked the day, Heym already added your default reminder, for example **On the day at 9:00 AM** (unless you've turned the default off). Click **×** next to it if you don't want it, then choose **At start** to get a nudge when the review begins. [Reminders](/help/reminders.md) explains when they arrive and where to change the default. **5. Write down what to go through** In the task's description, write what you want to look at each week, for example your areas, your goals and next week's three priorities. ![The Weekly review task opened from Upcoming. Date shows November 8, 2026 6:00 to 6:30 PM with a repeat icon, Priority is Medium, Reminders shows At start, and the description reads Areas, goals, next week's three priorities.](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/weekly-review/review-task.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=dc75b0f0c88b121debb1ce3d66190135) The Weekly review task, opened from Upcoming If you do the review a day late, checking the task off asks **When did you complete “Weekly review”?** Choose the original date, **Today**, or **Pick a date…** for the day you did it, and the task moves on to its next date. ## Look back at last week on Home Open **Home** and scroll to **Activity**. Each square is one day of the last 12 months, and the darker it is, the more you completed that day. Point at a square to see the count for that day. ![Home's Activity section: a grid of purple squares, one per day from December to November, with a Tasks menu at the top right and a Less to More scale at the bottom.](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/weekly-review/activity.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=6df7abad1c98125f3570cacf95c95c11) The menu at the top right of the section switches between **Tasks** and **Habits**. If you don't see Activity on Home, click **⋯** at the top right of Home, open **Configure widgets** and turn on **Activity**. To see which tasks you finished, open **Views** → **Completed** (or press **G** then **C**). It lists them newest first. A repeating task is listed there only once you [complete it forever](/help/repeating-tasks.md#stop-a-repeating-task); the Activity graph above counts each time you complete it. ## Check your goals Open **Goals**. Each goal shows its **Progress** and how much time is left before its **Deadline**. * Click the view settings button at the top right and set **Sort** to **Deadline** to see what's due first. * For a goal you track by hand, open it and click **Update** to log where you are now. See [Goals](/help/goals.md). * If a goal hasn't moved in weeks, decide on one task that moves it and give that task a date. ## Check your habits Open **Habits**. The page shows one week, Monday to Sunday by default, and the bar on each habit shows how much of that week's schedule you've done. Use the arrows next to the dates to look at the previous week. Click a habit to open it and see its **Current streak**, **Completion rate** and **Perfect weeks**. If a habit keeps slipping, change its schedule or target rather than letting the misses pile up. See [Habits](/help/habits.md). ## Empty the Inbox Open **Inbox** and go through it top to bottom. For each task, do one of these: | Choice | What to do | | - | - | | It's done or no longer needed | Check it off, or delete it. | | It has to happen on a certain day | Open it and set **Date**. | | It belongs to a goal, project or area | Open it and set **Alignment**. | A task leaves the Inbox as soon as it has a date or an alignment. A label or a priority alone doesn't move it. To change several tasks at once, select them with **X** and press **⌘K**. More in [Inbox, Today and Upcoming](/help/inbox-today-upcoming.md). ## Catch up on overdue tasks Open **Today**. Tasks from earlier days that you haven't completed are listed under **Overdue**. Check off the ones you did and delete the ones that no longer matter. Then click **Reschedule** next to **Overdue** and pick a day next week to move all the rest there at once. ## Lay out next week in Upcoming Open **Upcoming**, click the view settings button at the top right and choose **Calendar**, then click **W** to see a whole week. Click **›** at the top right to move to next week. Your habits show up too, at their time if they have one. ![Upcoming in Calendar view with W selected, showing next week from Monday November 9 to Sunday November 15, with the arrows and the view settings button at the top right, all-day tasks along the top, and habits and timed tasks placed at their hours from 7 AM to 3 PM.](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/weekly-review/week-calendar.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=7e15130a74c3595be2488eaa018b620e) Next week in Upcoming's week calendar * Drag a task to another day or time to move it, or drag its bottom edge to change how long it takes. * Click the button at the far right of the calendar header to open the **All tasks** list, then drag a task from it onto the week to give it a date and time. * Leave room. A week planned to the minute falls apart by Tuesday. [Plan on the calendar](/help/calendar.md) has the details. ## Keep notes from your review A short note each week makes the next review easier: what went well, what got in the way, next week's three priorities. 1. Open **Areas** and pick an area to keep your reviews in, for example **Growth & Learning**. 2. Scroll to **Notes** and click **Add note**. The note is linked to that area and appears on the area's page. To link an existing note, open it, point just above the note's title and click **Show properties**, then choose an area under **Alignment**. On the [Free plan](/help/plans.md) you can keep 20 notes, so one running note with the newest week at the top lasts longer than a note per week. See [Notes](/help/notes.md). ## Good to know * **Your week starts on Monday unless you change it.** Go to **Settings** → **Date & time** → **Week start**. It changes the week in Upcoming, the calendar and Habits. * **Nothing in Heym is "the review".** There's no special review screen or score. The routine is the order you visit these screens in, so change it to suit you. ## Related > [card] [Inbox, Today and Upcoming](/help/inbox-today-upcoming.md) > > What lands where, and how to sort and filter each list. > [card] [Calendar](/help/calendar.md) > > Drag tasks onto times and see your habits beside them. > [card] [Yearly goals](/help/yearly-goals.md) > > The yearly version of this routine, with a monthly check-in. > [card] [Getting Things Done](/help/gtd.md) > > Capture, clarify and organize with the Inbox, projects and labels.
