1/ Every Sunday: Dedicate 1 hour to review your upcoming week's calendar and optimize it
• Target pruning 20% of the meetings.
• Move things forward or backward based on priority.
• Do a quick project round-up and list "next actions" for each
2/ Block out time to get specific things done. I recommend trying to keep half or whole days without meetings for deep work.
Make sure to mentally prepare and block prep time for important meetings. Email your team a reminder to ensure they are doing the same.
3/ Finally, end the session by writing down your top 3 priorities for the week and putting them on your workstation.
Make sure they’re in sight when anytime you’re at your desk.
I tweet about bootstrapping my portfolio of 8 figure businesses of DTC and B2B brands.

Two mediocre students did everything wrong while taking $10,000 in credit card debt and turning it into a $67 BILLION company.
The crazy part?
They were profitable from day 1.
This is the wild story 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ Mike Cannon-Brookes met Scott Farquhar on their first day at the University of New South Wales in Sydney
Neither was a great student.
Farquhar averaged a 65%, while Cannon-Brooks barely graduated with a 53%
Mike sent a fateful email in 2001…
2/ in 2001, he emailed a few classmates that had been handling outsourced IT work with an idea: let’s start a company instead of a getting a “real job.”
Farquar was the only one to respond. They became co-CEOs.
