Filled-in example: a scored week

    

      
Business: a wedding florist doing $18K/month solo, no employees

      
Week logged: 6 hours on Instagram DMs and comments, 8 hours on hand-tying arrangements for active orders, 5 hours on vendor emails and invoicing, 4 hours "researching trends" on Pinterest and TikTok, 3 hours on client consultation calls, 6 hours driving to pick up flowers and supplies, 3 hours redesigning her own website for the third time this quarter.

      
    
        
  • Hand-tying arrangements (8 hrs): category 3, high-value work only she can do. Highest revenue-per-hour item on the list.
    • 
        
  • Client consultations (3 hrs): category 3, this closes new bookings directly.
    • 
        
  • Vendor emails and invoicing (5 hrs): category 4, low-value, anyone could do this with a template.
    • 
        
  • Instagram DMs and comments (6 hrs): category 4, mostly. Some booking inquiries live here, but 70% is unpaid customer service that a bot or assistant handles fine.
    • 
        
  • Driving for pickups (6 hrs): category 5, fake work. Feels essential, generates zero revenue, and a delivery service or part-time driver kills it.
    • 
        
  • Website redesigns (3 hrs): category 5, fake work. The site already converts. This is procrastination dressed as improvement.
    • 
      

      
90-day plan: month one, hand invoicing and vendor emails to a $20/hr virtual assistant, saves 5 hours. Month two, set up a delivery arrangement with the flower wholesaler, saves 6 hours. Month three, install a DM auto-responder for the repetitive 70% of Instagram messages, saves 4 hours. Total: 15 hours a week back, all from work that was never her highest use anyway.

    

  






  

    
The quarterly companions

    
Two more prompts for every 90 days

    
The Strategic No builds you a decision filter so you stop saying yes out of guilt or fear of missing out. The Quarterly Interview forces the honest conversation most owners avoid with their own business.

    

      
The Strategic No prompt

      
Here's what I've said yes to in the last 3 months: [list projects, opportunities, requests].

For each, estimate: actual revenue generated; time invested; strategic value (does it build assets, relationships, or reputation?); energy cost (draining vs energizing).

Then create my personal decision filter: the 3-5 criteria something must meet before I say yes; the types of opportunities I should automatically decline; the red flags that predict regret; standard responses I can copy-paste when saying no.

    

    

      
The Quarterly Interview (QBR prompt)

      
Prepare a quarterly business review narrative for [my business]. Lead with narrative, not numbers. Don't hide bad news. Name the misses plainly, then the plan to fix them, then the wins. Keep it honest enough that I'd trust it if someone else showed it to me.
