How to manage your time like a CEO

The free guide to running your life like a high-growth startup: six departments, four meetings, and next week already on your calendar.

Guides trusted by 15,000+ founders

We back and build companies that move humanity forward.

Inside the guide

Six departments. Four meetings. One system.

A startup has departments. So does your life. These are the eight steps I use to run all six, across four meetings: a yearly off-site, quarterly planning, a 30-minute Sunday Check-In and a morning meeting with yourself.

Score every department

Ten seconds each: is this part of your life your dream yet? Score it one to ten, then circle your lowest two.

Write each department’s vision

Know what winning looks like everywhere, not just at work, three to five years out.

Set this year’s goals

One goal per department, with one department in the lead and one really big goal.

Plan the quarter

Decide what has to be true by day 90. When you fall behind, change the actions, not the goal.

Pick your 3+2

Empty your head, then star the three professional and two personal must-dos that make it a winning week.

Budget your hours

Put your must-dos on the calendar first, give every department a block, and fit everything else around them.

Review the week

Re-score the six, compare planned to done, make one change and claim your reward.

Win the day before it starts

Read, visualize and move in your first hour, before your phone does.
