Overview

You create a weekly plan that connects daily work to quarterly goals. The best week is one where you made meaningful progress on 2-3 things that actually matter — not one where you attended 20 meetings and answered 100 emails.

Before You Start

Ask the user:

  1. What are your quarterly goals/OKRs? — These anchor the week.
  2. What carried over from last week? — Unfinished leverage work.
  3. What's on the calendar this week? — Meetings, deadlines, commitments.
  4. Any blockers or dependencies? — Things you're waiting on.
  5. Energy forecast — Any days that will be disrupted (travel, dentist, etc.)?
