Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's included in the Weekly Operating System?
A: You get a complete weekly management system including 1:1 meeting templates, team meeting agendas, weekly planning rituals (Monday prep and Friday review), and time-blocking frameworks. Everything you need to create a predictable rhythm for your week.

Q: How is this different from a regular planner or calendar?
A: This isn't just a calendar—it's a complete operating system designed specifically for managers. It includes conversation frameworks for 1:1s, meeting agendas that keep teams focused, and planning rituals that help you stay strategic instead of reactive.

Q: How long does it take to implement this system?
A: You can start using the templates immediately. The weekly planning ritual takes about 30 minutes on Monday morning and 20 minutes on Friday afternoon. Most managers report feeling more in control within 2 weeks of consistent use.

Q: What format are the templates? Can I customise them?
A: All tools are delivered as interactive HTML files that load in your browser. They're responsive and adapt to your input, but they're not fully editable like Word docs. They work on any device, online or offline.

Q: I already have 1:1 meetings scheduled. Will this help?
A: Yes! The 1:1 templates give you structured agendas so your meetings are productive instead of just status updates. You'll cover career development, feedback, blockers, and priorities in a consistent format.

Q: Can I use this system with a remote or hybrid team?
A: Absolutely. The system works for remote, hybrid, or in-person teams. The meeting templates include guidance for video calls and async communication.

Q: What if I don't have time for weekly planning?
A: That's exactly why you need this system. The planning rituals take 30 minutes on Monday and 20 minutes on Friday—but they save you hours of reactive firefighting during the week. Most managers find they get 5-10 hours back per week.

Q: Does this integrate with my calendar or project management tools?
A: The system is tool-agnostic. You'll use the frameworks and templates to structure your thinking, then apply them to whatever tools you already use (Google Calendar, Outlook, Notion, Asana, etc.).

Q: What if my week never goes according to plan?
A: The system is designed for real-world chaos. It includes buffer time, escape routes for when urgent issues arise, and a Friday review that helps you learn from what went wrong so you can adjust next week.

Q: How quickly can I access the system after purchase?
A: Instant access. You'll get immediate browser access to all templates, checklists, and frameworks as soon as you complete your purchase.

The Result: Stop feeling like you're drowning in reactive work. Create a weekly rhythm that gives you control, clarity, and time to actually lead your team instead of just managing crises.
