Structuring your day when you do everything alone

What is actually blocking you

• You start with email, so other people write your day.
• Your tasks aren't comparable, so you can't choose and you do the easiest one.
• Revenue work sits at the end of the day, when your energy is already gone.

Today's plan

1. 01Prepare

   One revenue action, written last night (5 min)

   One sentence, one verb, one target, one duration. "Contact 8 accounting firms, 45 min." If it doesn't fit on one line, it isn't ready.

2. 02Execute

   Revenue block before any inbox (90 min)

   Three blocks a day: revenue, delivery, admin. Revenue goes first, notifications off. Admin gets one slot at the end of the day.

3. 03Measure

   One line in the evening (3 min)

   The action done, the number reached, the blocker hit. That's what lets tomorrow's mission be calibrated instead of restarting from zero.

Mistakes to avoid

• Keeping a twenty-item list: it makes the decision impossible.
• Switching organisation tools when the real question is the trade-off.
• Handling support continuously instead of two fixed slots.

Frequent questions

What about customer emergencies?

Two fixed slots a day are enough in almost every business. Real emergencies arrive by phone, not by email.

What if I only have two hours a day?

One block only: the revenue block. Delivery and admin wait for the evening or weekend slot.
