How to Design a Week That Doesn’t Break You
Most burnout doesn’t come from working too much.
It comes from working without boundaries, priorities, or rhythm.
This post breaks down the Days By Design™ Weekly Design Framework, including:
1. Capacity-Based Planning
Stop planning as if you’re an infinite resource.
We start by defining:
- Available hours
- Energy limits
- Non-negotiable life commitments
2. Outcome-First Scheduling
Instead of filling your calendar with tasks, you schedule outcomes:
- Revenue outcomes
- Leadership outcomes
- Strategic outcomes
3. Energy Matching
High-cognitive work goes where energy is highest.
Admin work goes where energy is lowest.
4. Intentional White Space
Margin is not laziness.
It’s operational maturity.
Action steps included:
- Weekly design checklist
- Sample founder week layout

A designed week is the foundation of a scalable business.
