Creating your Peak Week with Steve Cardwell

Steve Cardwell is creating the most productive dads on the planet with his Peak Week model. There are four key parts: 1. Daily Gold Standards The absolute essential things in your life that happen every day. Examples: sleep, gym, school drop offs, lunch etc. 2. High & Low Leverage Tasks High leverage = the things that move you forward as a person in life, in business or as a parent. Low leverage = the small things that need to be done to make sure they don't become a problem. 3. Task Log Creating massive lists of jobs that can't be done applies huge mental pressure. Storing them in a specific doc which can be tackled in line with the rest of your weekly tasks makes much more sense. 4. Play Time Going for a beer with your mates to watch the football? Get it in the calendar. Communication can make or break relationships. Building your Peak Week isn't just about saving 10 hours a week and having an organised calendar. It's about progress for you and your family with the things that matter.
