Your schedule is a design choice — not a series of things that just happened to you. This worksheet helps you step back, understand your own energy and rhythms, and intentionally build a week that actually reflects who you are and what you're building.
We're not going for perfect. We're going for truer than what you have now.
Strategic coach Dan Sullivan teaches that all days are not created equal. The most effective solopreneurs deliberately structure their weeks around three types of days — and protect each fiercely. How many of each do you want per week, and which days?
Check every domain that needs a home in your week. Estimate your ideal hours per week in the field on the right. (You have ~80–100 waking hours. Let's see where they go.)
Name the key roles you hold and relationships that need consistent attention. Then ask: is each one currently getting enough of the right kind of time?
Using everything you've explored above — fill in your ideal week below. Name what goes in each block.
Use the color legend to indicate block type. This is the dream version — start there, then dial back to reality.
Pre-colored blocks are just suggestions — click into any cell and type what belongs there. Let it be yours.
These are the blocks you protect with your life. They go in your calendar first — fixed, recurring, non-moveable. Name up to 8.
"The way you spend your days is the way you spend your life."
— Annie Dillard
