Sunday Scoreboard
Sunday offers a rare calm—a moment of clear air after a week of noise. Instead of chaotic planning, it’s a focused reset that sets the tone for what’s next.
Why Sunday Matters
Sunday is your weekly reset. Thirty minutes of honest review beats hours of planning. You score the three numbers. You pick a lever and a theme. You set up a small ritual that makes the next week flow—an ask you will make, a demo you will run, a file you will open Monday morning. The point is not to predict the week. The point is to shape it.
Start with the Scoreboard
Count proof days out of seven. Compute finish rate by dividing slices shipped by sessions. Calculate average feedback latency for asks you sent. Write the three numbers at the top of a new weekly note. Do not judge them. Let them tell you where to look.
- Count proof days: How many days had meaningful progress?
- Compute finish rate: Slices shipped ÷ sessions
- Calculate feedback latency: Average time to get responses on asks
If proof days are low, starts need help. If finish rate is low, scope needs cutting. If latency is high, asks and channels need work.
Review the Museum
Look through the museum of proof. Pull two or three artifacts that matter. Note in one line what they changed. Patterns will appear.
- Small onboarding edits moved activation more than big features
- DMs beat posts for replies
- Best ships happened on days with a 9 a.m. box
The evidence suggests the adjustments. (Deeper tactics like advanced metrics analysis wait for later.)
Pick a Lever and Theme
Pick one lever to pull this week. Write it in plain language: “Pull feedback speed.” Choose a theme that fits: discovery, activation, revenue, or retention. Pair lever and theme so daily decisions get easier.
- Example: If you wrote “activation” and “finish rate,” favor slices that change first‑run moments and timebox with a hard stop.
Set a Weekly Ask
Set a single ask you will make this week no matter what. It should fit the lever.
- If discovery is the theme: “DM three people after each ship with a 10‑second question.”
- If activation is the theme: “Ask two new users to try the updated flow.”
Schedule the first block for that ask so it actually happens.
Schedule a Demo
Schedule your demo. Friday at a fixed time works well.
- If you are solo, record a 3‑minute clip and post it in your channel.
- The demo gives you a natural cadence and a reason to pick visible slices.
- It also produces artifacts for your museum.
Stage Monday
Stage Monday’s first move. Open the file you will change and write one line at the top:
- “Ship:
.” - Place the link to the relevant doc or component above it.
The stage is part of the protocol. It lowers Monday’s activation energy.
Close with a Re‑Bet
Close with a small re‑bet.
- Keep what moved the needle last week.
- Cut or pause the rest.
- If a rule triggered, follow it: halve scope, change the channel, or archive for a month.
You are steering with data, not with drama. Calm review. Clear week.
