Today’s Priorities

Friday with a wide-open calendar. The 2pm review block is the only commitment. Use the morning for the high-leverage items from yesterday’s Josh 1:1.

  1. Reach out to Leon Furze — Josh’s intro is warm and time-sensitive. Send Flash Lab materials + framed feedback questions. This directly supports the scaling/model validation work.
  2. Add Quoted Impact to Airtable — Joe’s reminder is fresh. Elizabeth Schumann and Leslie Hart quotes are ready. Quick win.
  3. Review + send goals write-up to Josh — Draft was created yesterday. Review, polish, send.
  4. Ask Joe about evidence deliverable format — You’ll see him in the Quoted Impact context anyway. Quick question.
  5. 2pm: Weekly Personal Review — Use this for /weekly-review or a broader check on where things stand heading into next week.
