A simple weekly cadence that shrinks chaos and multiplies output.

Don’t just pick a random niche. Choose one strategically.
There’s a reason I use short-form writing. This is the why.
Most weeks fail before Monday morning.
We try to wing it. Vibes, coffee, blind hope. That used to be me. Then a boring ritual saved my week.
In the Air Force we ran weekly reviews and debriefs. Same checklist, every week. The point wasn’t perfection. The point was readiness.
I stole it for creator life. One quiet hour on Sunday. Notebook. Calendar. No noise.
The script:
Look back. What shipped, what slipped, why.
Pick one mission for the week. One.
Set three anchors: one content piece, one admin task, one personal priority.
Block real hours on the calendar. Protect them.
Remove obstacles now. Files, specs, links, assets, access.
Sixty minutes. Done.
Results: fewer fires, less drift, more finished work.
The hidden win is stress. Your brain stops spinning because the week already has rails. Skip the ritual and you pay for it in lost hours and missed promises.
Your next move: schedule this hour for the next four Sundays. Same time, same place. Keep it small. Keep it repeatable.
Small system. Big results.
