Description
Description: This system restructures your week so important work happens reliably. You will audit your calendar to find meetings that can be shortened, combined, or replaced with async updates. You will block recurring focus windows and learn scripts to defend them respectfully. You will batch similar tasks to cut context‑switching and fatigue. You will redesign 1:1s and team rituals to fit a predictable weekly arc. You will install a request intake so ad‑hoc asks are triaged, not scattered across chat. You will adopt a personal kanban with WIP limits that match your real capacity. You will plan each day with a three‑slot method that prevents overcommitment. You will end each afternoon with a five‑minute shutdown ritual that resets the next day. You will track time reclaimed and outcomes shipped to prove the change works. You will close with a maintenance plan and monthly tune‑ups.
Format: Calendar audit guide, defense scripts, personal kanban template, intake form, and shutdown ritual checklist.
Duration: 60 minutes to set up; one to two weeks to stabilize.
What You’ll Learn: Calendar design; focus protection; batching; intake and WIP; daily planning; maintenance and measurement.
Target Audience: Managers who feel over‑scheduled and want a calm, repeatable week that ships real work.
