One Week Founder Mode

Compress an overloaded week of startup, research, job-search, creator, or side-project work into one main bet, up to two microbets, essential maintenance, and an explicit kill list. Use when the user has too many parallel ideas, keeps adding tasks, needs a founder-like weekly operating rhythm, or wants every week to end with real external proof instead of a long completed-task list.

One Week Founder Mode

A full calendar is not the same as a useful week.

Workflow

  1. Dump every active commitment, idea, obligation, and dependency.
  2. Separate fixed obligations from discretionary work.
  3. Choose one main bet: the result that most changes the next decision if completed this week.
  4. Allow at most two microbets with strict time caps.
  5. Define maintenance: tasks that keep existing systems, relationships, health, or obligations from deteriorating.
  6. Create a kill list: tempting tasks that are intentionally not done this week.
  7. For the main bet, define:
    • external user or stakeholder;
    • definition of done;
    • evidence expected by Sunday;
    • first irreversible dependency;
    • one unblock action.
  8. Plan by energy and dependency, not by filling every hour.
  9. Midweek, review only three questions: Is the main bet still valid? What is blocked? What should be cut?
  10. End the week by scoring evidence, learning, and continuation—not by task count.

Output

Return:

  • Main bet
  • Two microbets max
  • Maintenance
  • Kill list
  • Weekly sequence
  • Midweek review
  • Sunday evidence review

When everything is marked urgent, force ranking.
