Started doing a 15-minute end-of-week review every Friday and it's changed how I plan completely.

Three questions every time what got done, what slipped, and what needs a system fix. takes 15 minutes max and it means Monday morning I already know exactly what I'm walking into instead of spending the first hour figuring out where I left off. the other thing it does is show me patterns if the same type of task keeps slipping week after week that's a signal something in my process needs fixing, not just more effort. most VA problems aren't workload problems, they're planning problems. this one habit has done more for my output than any tool I've added this year.
