Strategy workspace

Plan the week like a creative director, not a dashboard.

Daily wedges, a focus board, and mock “coach” lines — all local. No charts, no vanity metrics; just lanes, commitments, and what you’re explicitly not doing.

Signal coach

Suggestions below are assembled from your recent session focus and draft titles — deterministic mock logic, not an API.

Productivity suggestions

  • 01

    End with one decision owner and one date — not a list of ‘next steps.’

  • 02

    Make the CTA ladder honest: one action per email, no nested asks.

  • 03

    Swap three adjectives for one concrete verb in the opening paragraph.

  • 04

    Ask: what would we cut if we had to ship in two hours?

Daily planning

Wedges & moves

Mock schedule
  • EditorialFirst 90 min

    Morning wedge

    Name the decision before you polish sentences.

    1. 1.Rewrite the headline as a bet, not a label.
    2. 2.Cut one section that repeats the intro.
    3. 3.Leave one honest risk on the page.
  • MarketingMidday block

    Proof pass

    Ship receipts — screenshots, quotes, timestamps.

    1. 1.Pull one customer line that sounds like them, not us.
    2. 2.Swap adjectives for verbs in the CTA ladder.
    3. 3.Add a single objection + response pair.
  • ProductLate day

    Close the loop

    Turn meetings into owners and dates.

    1. 1.List decisions vs. open questions explicitly.
    2. 2.Assign one DRI per thread — no shared ownership.
    3. 3.Park nice-to-haves in a single parking lot list.

Task breakdown

  1. 01Define the reader’s job-to-be-done in one sentence.
  2. 02List three proof points — delete anything generic.
  3. 03Draft the worst version fast; mark seams for revision.
  4. 04Add a kill criterion: what would make you spike the piece?
  5. 05Schedule a 25m review with only red ink, no rewriting.
