Weekly Planner August 18 - August 24, 2025

Weekly Big 3

  1. Complete a working draft of YAWP AI write-up before Thursday.
    Time-block sprints on Monday morning, Wednesday evening, and Thursday morning to build momentum—aim for “done not perfect” to get the first version written by your meeting with Jess Early.
  2. Support Judge teachers’ PD by Friday (including needed tech/setup help during the week).
    Schedule check-ins and stay flexible for real-time troubleshooting as they get set up—protect focused time early in the week for proactive prep so you’re not scrambling last minute.
  3. Advance Loveable wireframe feedback cycle and capture at least two rounds of user input.
    Share this week’s updates with targeted stakeholders or users before Ed & Gail arrive, then schedule a follow-up feedback round to keep iteration rolling.

Template for each day's plan

A map of my Weekly Big 3 and other commitments onto a day-by-day plan so that I see where to focus, create buffer for deep work, and fit in both connection and rejuvenation.

Writing and emailing Launching Writing Partners at Judge Memorial is a win!

Absolutely—I’ll plot your high-level weekly grid first, highlighting all main events, core work blocks (writing, meetings, outreach), and protected rejuvenation time. I’ll sequence these with some natural buffer between big commitments but keep it tight enough to maximize your momentum and flexibility.

Here’s the week-at-a-glance layout:

    Berks leisure with Marcie *

SATURDAY/SUNDAY • Low-pressure review of loose ends • Reflect/sketch next week’s Big 3, jot Writing Partner doc priorities

Notes:
- Most demanding deep work falls Mon–Wed mornings and Thursday AM. Protect those early blocks whenever possible.
- Anchor your evenings around movement/runs and reading—especially as a transition away from screens/work.
- Social/time-off is strongest over weekend and throughout evenings in the Berkshires.

This grid gives you clear structure but leaves room each day to flex as new opportunities arise.

If you want, we can now zoom into any individual day—or overlay more detail where you see “open” slots. Would you like that? Or does this weekly view give you what you need right now?
