Before you check-out for the weekend, consider trying this 15-Minute Weekly Planning Strategy:

Review (3 min): Look at this past week’s wins and leftovers. What actually mattered?

Filter (6 mins): Identify the 3 big priorities that directly impact your long-term and short-term goals or help unblock your team. Ask yourself, "What are the 3 most important, non-negotiable outcomes I must achieve by Friday?"

Consider:
- Impact Action: What action drives the highest value?
- Relationship Action: What check-in or coaching builds team capacity?
