A Simple System to Make Real Progress Every Week

Step 1 - Use colors to track momentum

• Green = things going well and building momentum
• Red = things that are struggling and need attention

Step 2 - Set three priority levels

• Priority A - the most important things to ship this week
• Priority B - middle items you leave completely alone
• Priority C - things you are deliberately NOT doing this week

Out of 50 items, pick 10 A's and 10 C's. Do not touch the B's at all.

Step 3 - Weekly rhythm

• Monday: Review priorities together as a team
• Monday: Have quick 15-minute chats about high-effort items to scope them down
• Wednesday and Friday: Quick check-ins to adjust

This system is not just about productivity - it is a learning tool that helps you understand what your team can realistically achieve.
