Shaping weeks

Don't administer days – shape weeks.

The week is the engine.
In brief:

"Shaping weeks" means: You don't plan each day separately, but the whole week as one unit. The week has the optimal length for planning and reviewing. Tasks belong to the week, not to the exact day – that gives You flexibility and 52 chances a year to get better.

Administering days leads into the small stuff

Don't administer days.  →  Shape weeks.

Anyone who plans by the day is constantly rearranging as soon as something comes up. The week, on the other hand, is robust: Tasks belong to the week, not to the day. Whether a goal is finished on Monday or Tuesday is not decisive – what matters is that it is in the week.

The week – 6 + 1

A week is six steps and one day of rest. You shape it as a whole: the weekly outlook at the top, the tasks by priority A/B/C on the left, the appointments on the right. Sunday is part of it – as rest and (after the reflection on Saturday) as preparation for the coming week.

52 chances instead of 365 obligations

The week gives You a clear rhythm: 52 times a year You plan and review. That is more motivating than 365 days to work through – and it learns faster than a single New Year's resolution.

The week is the engine

It is big enough for orientation and small enough for implementation – the central unit for planning and reviewing.

Frequently asked questions

What about urgent appointments on a given day?
Those of course go into the day – but the Shaping happens at week level. Appointments take second place to the weekly tasks.
Why not the month?
The month doesn't fit the natural rhythm: weeks run across month boundaries. The week is the clean unit You actually experience.
