You can hold six goals in your head. You cannot move six goals forward in the same week. Most of a year disappears into the gap between those two facts. This is a short book about picking the one that matters and defending it.

What you will walk away with

A goal you can say in one sentence

How to cut a vague ambition down to something you can start on Monday and check on Friday.

A place to put the rest

The list you keep for the goals you are not working on, so setting one down stops feeling like losing it.

A weekly check that takes ten minutes

Two questions that tell you whether the goal moved this week or whether you were busy near it.

Who it is for

Anyone running six projects at once and finishing none of them. If your list has grown every month this year, start here. You can read the first chapter on Gumroad before you buy.

Thank you all <3

  • I’d started four books this year and finished none of them. I read this one in two sittings, then finally finished the thing I’d been avoiding since January.

  • I stopped checking my phone before I got out of bed. That one change has done more for my mood than anything else I’ve tried.

  • I read the chapter on saying no twice. My evenings are mine again, and my family noticed before I did.

  • Bought one. Read it in a weekend. Bought the rest that Monday. Three years later I still reread the chapter on finishing every January.

  • I’ve read every book like this. It’s the first one that didn’t make me feel behind. It made me feel like I could start.

  • It didn’t hand me a system. It took three things off my plate and explained why they were there. I’ve been calmer ever since.
