How Solo Businesses Set Priorities: A Five-Step, 30-Minute Weekly Review
A weekly method for choosing work by revenue impact, customer promises, risk, and available capacity instead of trying to finish everything.
Collect every commitment into one list
Gather tasks from email, chat, and notes, then label customer commitments, revenue work, operations, and improvements. Put new work into the same inbox immediately so it can be compared.
Choose three outcomes by impact, deadline, and risk
Rate revenue or customer impact, promised date, and the risk of delay. Select only three outcomes that fit actual capacity and deliberately defer the rest.
On Friday, review decision quality, not only completion
Record whether unfinished work came from bad estimates, unexpected requests, or a priority change. Reserve capacity for recurring uncertainty and split next week's outcomes into smaller units.
