Office Hours are starting on Oct 20th!
On Monday, October 20 at 11am EST (i.e. Toronto time...because I'm terrible with time zones!) Iโ€™ll be running the first bi-weekly Office Hours call inside ReadyOpsGo (via Skool Live). These sessions are your chance to: - Bring whateverโ€™s tripping you up in your business operations - Ask questions - Brainstorm next steps together with the group No slides. No fluff. Just real talk and problem-solving. See you then & there...bright eyed & bushy tailed!

Great, I scheduled it in my calendar!
How do you all appraoch the week in terms of planning for it?
There are a dime a dozen ways to plan and manage your week. Iโ€™m curious to learn yours ๐Ÿ‘€ Hereโ€™s what I do: 1. I use several Outlook calendars that overlay each other: 2. At the start of the month, I set up my weekly template (image attached). I drop in non-negotiables first (school runs, workouts ๐Ÿ’ช) and then add blocks for deep work, admin, and free-choice work. 3. Before each week begins, I replace template blocks with specific tasks. For example, a โ€œDeep Workโ€ block becomes โ€œVJ project work.โ€ 4. My main calendar is the work one, so everything goes in there (including personal) to avoid double-booking. 5. For in-person appointments, I add buffer time before and after (I call it b/out ๐Ÿš—). I'll also add in prep time if needed for virtual appointments. 6. The personal calendar is really just for my kidsโ€™ activities. If it only needs me to remind them, it stays on personal. If I have to pick them up, it also goes on my work calendar. 7. Everything is color-coded (same colors and categories across all calendars) so I instantly know what type of appointment it is. 8. I adjust daily as things change. So bascially, the flow looks like this: - Monthly: plan the big picture - Weekly: pre-plan details - Daily: adjust as needed And repeat... Things I DON'T DO: - Duplicate recurring commitments in both calendars (too cluttered). - Beat myself up if it doesnโ€™t go to plan. Life happens ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ - Waste time making my calendars โ€œprettyโ€ or "perfect". These are tools that need to be functional, practical, and easy to maintain. Real-talk: if you need 'pretty', then have at it, but don't fool yourself thinking you're doing actual IPA (income producing activity). Now that Iโ€™ve shown you mine ๐Ÿ˜‰โ€ฆ your turn! What tool, routine, or proecess do you use to plan your week?

I like your system a lot ๐Ÿ‘Œ The color-coding and buffer time idea is really smart (I often forget to plan extra time for travel ๐Ÿš—). I use something a bit different, more like FranklinCovey. I start with my roles and goals for the week, then I block the most important tasks first. But I can see how your calendar overlays give a clear picture of everything in one place. Might try that ๐Ÿ™‚ Do you usually do a full Sunday reset to plan the week, or do you adjust more day by day? โ€”โ€”-Hereโ€™s what I do with the FranklinCovey method (although I donโ€™t use it regularly:/) 1. Think about roles โ€“ At the start of the week, I look at my main roles (for example: son, worker, friend, brother). For each role, I choose 1โ€“2 important goals for the week. 2. Weekly Compass โ€“ I write these goals in the โ€œcompassโ€ page. This helps me connect my week with my values and long-term plans. 3. Plan the week โ€“ I put the most important tasks (โ€œbig rocksโ€) into my calendar first. Example: if one goal is โ€œfinish client proposal,โ€ I block time on Tuesday morning. 4. Daily tasks โ€“ Each day I make a list of tasks and meetings. I mark them A, B, or C (A = most important, B = should do, C = nice if I have time). 5. Move tasks carefully โ€“ If I donโ€™t finish something, I ask: is it really important? If yes, I move it to another day. If not, I let it go. 6. Review and reflect โ€“ At the end of the week, I check what worked well and what I can improve for next week. The flow looks like this: - Weekly: choose roles and goals โ†’ plan important tasks. - Daily: do the tasks by priority. - End of week: review and prepare for next week. Things I donโ€™t do: - I donโ€™t start with small tasks. I start with roles and goals. - I donโ€™t make my list too long. I focus on the most important things. PS 1: my roles and goals are informed by my values

@Lena Gallagher Well I know the method for more than 10 years but I have only used for maybe 2 years. And I have tried to tweak sth. but I have leaned that tweaking is difficult for me since I get confused.
