Tips for Best Results
- 💡A weekly dashboard should replace fragmentation, not create another place to feel guilty. Keep it small enough to review in under 10 minutes.
- 💡Track only a few lead indicators that change behavior. If you never act on a metric, remove it.
- 💡Separate commitments from wishes. Your weekly outcomes should fit the real calendar you actually have.
- 💡Build a rescue ritual for messy weeks. Systems fail when they assume every week is clean and disciplined.
