My reply is quite late, but hopefully you might still find it useful. For me, it would be a disservice to all I have on my plate if I made a weekly plan. I much prefer to follow Getting Things Done (GTD) and make decisions more on the fly after each completed task. The closest I come to a weekly plan is that on Friday when I do my review, I star items that need my focus the following week. Each time I'm ready for a new task, I look at the tab by due date first to see if I have anything critical due that day or soon. Then I look at the starred tab. Lastly, I use the context tab. This way, each time I am deciding what to work on, I'm getting the most bang for my buck.
