What Monday Could Look Like

““It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?”

— Henry David Thoreau

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

— James Clear

Can you relate to starting Monday and already feeling overwhelmed?

Too many tabs open, messages and priorities competing for attention. And they all need to be done now.

I’m learning that good work rarely comes from chaos so I’m aiming for that elusive perfect Monday, which looks like:

Respond to the important things and clearly see the priorities.
Move projects forward - even just a touch
Keep communication simple

And I propose to do that by creating systems that work so intuitively in the background - email has my enquiries, enquiries lead to a sequence of actions, and things get done calmly.

Less noise + better decisions + stronger systems = Calmer business.

That’s the kind of work I’m trying to build more of through Untangle.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
— Leonardo da Vinci

Untangle is an ongoing exploration of operational clarity, continuity and reducing friction inside businesses.
