Most people react to their week instead of directing it. A short weekly plan flips that — you decide what matters before the noise starts, so the urgent stuff doesn't crowd out the important stuff.
The Sunday reset (15 minutes)
- Review — what's on the calendar this week? Any deadlines, appointments, birthdays?
- Pick your Big Three — the three things that, if done, make it a good week.
- Block time — put the Big Three in your calendar as actual appointments.
- Prep — anything you can set up now (meals, bag, clothes) to remove friction later.
💡
Three, not thirteen
A list of 13 priorities means you have zero priorities. Force it down to three and the week gets clear.
The daily version
Each morning, pick one must-do from your Big Three. Do it first, before email and messages pull you in different directions. Everything after that is a bonus.
Checklist
