A Simple Weekly Reset for Small Business Owners

Reduce overwhelm and start each week clear

Why Most Weeks Start Chaotic

Many business owners start the week reacting instead of deciding.

Without a reset, you:

• Carry last week’s stress forward

• Add tasks without removing any

• Confuse busyness with progress

A weekly reset isn’t about productivity. It’s about intentional focus.

The 15-Minute Weekly Reset

Do this once a week—ideally at the same time.

Step 1: Close the Previous Week (5 minutes)

• What worked?

• What felt heavy?

• What carried over unfinished?

No judgment. Just awareness.

Step 2: Choose One Priority (5 minutes)

Ask:

If this is the only thing I move forward this week, will it matter?

One priority = fewer mental tabs open.

Step 3: Decide Your Non-Negotiables (5 minutes)

• One thing you will say no to

• One boundary you’ll protect

• One task that supports energy (not output)

This is how sustainable growth actually happens.

Why This Works

Weekly clarity:

• Reduces decision fatigue

• Improves follow-through

• Builds confidence through consistency

Small resets compound faster than big plans.

Make This Simple Weekly Reset Repeatable

Put this simple weekly reset in your calendar. Use the same questions every week. Consistency creates calm.
