Operations

Map your weekly founder tasks—group them and spot where most of your time is draining.

Choose one routine task and document it step-by-step—ask someone else to test it.

Block one hour to build or refine a template you’ve been avoiding.

Ask your team to nominate the messiest process—lead a quick redesign sprint.

Pilot a short check-in focused only on operations—what’s working or breaking?

Conduct a task audit—highlight items to batch, drop, or streamline.

Decision-making

Keep a decision log for a week—note choices, reasons, and the outcomes.

Before your next major choice, write down at least three options beyond yes/no.

Run a quick “pre-mortem” with a peer—what could derail your current plan?

Ask two mentors for opposite views on one choice—reflect on the tension.

Lead a team through a structured decision matrix—compare weights and risks.

Force a decision today on one issue stuck for a week—commit and move forward.

Structure

Clarify who owns each of your top five launch priorities—list names or roles.

Sketch the escalation path for a risky task—who steps in if issues appear?

Hold a short workshop: “What’s working or broken in our current role setup?”

Draft a simple RACI map for one project—who’s Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed?

Spot a task floating between roles—assign ownership and back them up.

Review your calendar—does it reflect your defined role, or hidden gaps?
