Design your ideal week

Before the calendar fills itself, decide where your 40 hours should go. Block a Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5 week the way you would run it if every hour went to the work that grows the practice.

  1. 1Choose an activity from the color-coded list.
  2. 2Click or drag across the grid to block that time.
  3. 3Check your totals against the suggested mix, then adjust.

Your ideal week

Each block is 30 minutes. A sample week is loaded so you can see how it works.

Where your time should go

The suggested mix puts about 33 of 40 hours on five priorities. Adjust the numbers to your practice stage; a newer advisor may push prospecting higher.

Keep these to about 7 hours

  • Schedule priority blocks first. Secondary work fits around them, not the other way around.
  • Batch admin and email into one or two set blocks a day.
  • Hand off service requests to your team wherever you can.
  • Treat a prospecting block like a client appointment: it doesn't move.

Before you commit

Your notes save with your week.
