It's a familiar irony: businesses with documented processes for everything, run by a founder whose own week is total chaos — reactive, interrupted, driven entirely by whoever asked last.
Your calendar is a system too. Deep work blocked before it gets eaten by requests. A weekly review that actually happens. Boundaries that hold even when something feels urgent.
Nothing else you systemise matters much if the person setting direction is too scattered to think clearly. Fix your own week first — everything downstream gets easier.
Look at your calendar for last week. How much of it did you actually choose?
Free first step: the the founder's weekly planner.
With respect,
