A free tool for founder-led businesses with a team of 8 or more
You have a team. Why are you still doing their work?
"I have a team, but I'm still doing work they could do, checking what they do and sorting out problems. The work that would win and keep clients gets pushed to later."
If that sounds like you, start here. Empty your head onto the page and score each item against five questions. You'll walk away with the three things that deserve your week, and a clear list of what can go to your team or be let go.
About fifteen minutes. Free. Nothing to install.
Nothing you type leaves this page unless you tick the box. Your list is saved in this browser only, so it's here when you come back.
How this works
Four steps. You empty your head, put your next reset in your own diary, then score the list. The reset comes before the scoring on purpose: a list you score once is an interesting afternoon, and a list you come back to every month is a different thing entirely.
Empty your head: everything on your plate for the month ahead
Set your monthly reset: thirty minutes in your own calendar, same time next month
Score the list: five questions per item, honestly
Your month, and your week: three things worth protecting, and a clear list of what can go to your team or be let go

Your month
Empty your head
Everything on your plate for the month ahead: the work you're doing that your team could do, the things you're checking, the problems landing on your desk, and the client work that keeps getting pushed to later. One per line. Don't filter, don't order it. Most founders land somewhere between 12 and 20.

Why this comes before the scoring
A list you score once is an interesting afternoon. The hard part isn't picking three things. It's doing those three instead of drifting back to the twelve. Put the next one in your diary now, while you still mean it.
One recurring 30-minute slot: next month at 09:00.
Outlook and Apple download a calendar file. Open it and save the event.
Pick a calendar first. The scoring opens once the date is set. That's the whole point of doing this step first.
Score the list
Five questions per item, one to five. First instinct is usually the honest one. Don't deliberate.

Your month, and your week

What to do with it
20 to 25 · Do First: strategic, impactful and executable. 15 to 19 · Schedule & Assign: next tier; hand it to your team or slot it against real bandwidth. 10 to 14 · Defer or Reframe: needs re-evaluation or simplification. Below 10 · Drop or Park: low-value distractions. You are allowed to let these go.
Take a copy before you close this.
Your browser will save the whole thing as a PDF: your week, your month, the full ranked list and what you're dropping. Thirty seconds, and it's yours wherever you keep things.
On a phone, choose Print and then Save as PDF. Your list also stays in this browser, so it's here when you come back.
Your list is with JC.
He'll be in touch about it.
Want someone to ask you about it?
Entirely optional. The list above is yours either way, and it stays in this browser whether you fill this in or not.
If you'd like someone to ask
A list you score alone is an interesting afternoon. A list someone asks you about a month later is a different thing entirely. If you want that, book a thirty-minute accountability session. Free, no pitch attached. JC will push back where the scoring looks generous and where you're holding on to work your team could do.
