Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • My weeks get hijacked by whatever lands in my inbox first thing Monday, and by Friday I’ve just been reacting the whole time
  • I dive into Monday with no sense of what the week is actually for, so I end up chasing whatever shouts loudest each day and the two or three things that would make the week a real success never get a protected slot.
  • Another week just vanished and the few things I actually meant to do never happened
  • I knock out my daily goals every day and still reach Friday wondering where the week went
  • I’ve decided to finally do this and I want to begin on a day that feels like a real line in the sand
