This week sets the tone for your year
|
Happy New Year! Welcome back to your inbox. But don't be tempted back into bad habits. Lets start the year differently. It’s about something quieter, and far more powerful: setting up the deliberate practice you promised yourself. A gentle ease-in. The start of your healthy rhythms. At the end of last year, during the G20, a friend of a friend relayed a story from someone working on the logistics for a visiting Head of State. When they were arranging his stay, he had two non-negotiables:
I loved the wisdom in that. Somewhere along the way, he learned to protect his healthy rhythms… because he knows he needs them to lead optimally. And by “healthy rhythms,” I mean the habits you said you’d build in 2026 — the ones that make you feel like you again. The ones that support your energy, your focus, your steadiness. The ones you always promised yourself you'd “start next week” when things calm down. This is that week. So… what did you promise yourself?
Whatever it is — start now, while the week is still spacious and people are easing back into the office. Do it for yourself. Not to prove anything. Just to set the year up right. That’s all from me. Welcome back,

Over the last three weeks, we've been building the foundation of the CEO Reset. Week 1, we identified the 6 systems every business needs to scale. Week 2, we learned to prioritise properly and time-block our ideal week. Week 3, we defined our destination: our mission and OKRs that give us direction. If you've been doing the work, you should be feeling clearer about where you're going and what matters most. But here's where most CEOs stumble: They do the exercises once, feel great about it,...
Over the last two weeks, we've done some important groundwork. Week 1, we introduced the CEO Reset and the 6 systems every business needs to scale. Week 2, we cleared the mental clutter, sorted our priorities, and built an ideal week designed to produce results—not just fill time. If you did the work, you should already be feeling a little more in control. This week, we go deeper. And in many ways, this is the most important email in the entire series. Because here's the uncomfortable truth...
Last week I introduced you to the CEO Reset and the 6 systems every business needs to scale. If you missed it, you can catch up here: [LINK TO LAST WEEK'S BLOG] TThis week we're getting practical. Fast. Because here's the truth most productivity gurus won't tell you: Your to-do list isn't a plan. It's a source of anxiety. Most business owners I work with start their week feeling like they're already behind. My friend and co-founder Phumla told me that she plans on a Sunday night so that when...
