Weekly Operating Rhythm

Weekly Operating Rhythm

A boring, repeatable loop that compounds.

Weekly Loop

  • Mon - Plan: priorities, capacity, risks (30m).
  • Wed - Review: metrics, blockers, decisions (20m).
  • Fri - Close: shipped work, learnings, next week's seed (15m).

Artefacts

  • Board: Now / Next / Later (three columns only).
  • Metrics: 3-5 signals tied to value and risk.
  • Decision Log: date, owner, rationale, effect.

Guardrails

  • Meetings start on time; end early.
  • Async first; meetings only for decisions.
  • No stealth work-everything visible on the board.
> Rhythm beats intensity. Keep it simple, keep it weekly.
