Weekly Operations ReviewThe 1% Sunday protocol—command before Monday ambushes you.
Johnny's lesson from the book: the week isn't won Monday morning—it's planned effectively Sunday afternoon. Most high-performers spend Monday reacting to other people's priorities. Spend roughly 1% of your week (~90 minutes) on this structured review and you shift from defense to command.
Good fit when: you want systemic alignment across pillars—not another unstructured task dump. Pairs with: Capacity Matrix (Phase II). Read: Essay · The 1% Sunday.
The three-phase protocol
A successful 1% Sunday (~90 minutes) follows a rigid sequence—do not skip a phase. This is an audit of your week, not a loose to-do brainstorm: you are checking structural integrity across Identity, Self, Career, and Relationship before the load lands.
- Phase I — Look back: where did time and energy leak?
- Phase II — Look forward: Capacity Matrix, deep-work anchors, ~20% buffer.
- Phase III — Relationship sync: balance the ledger before legacy debt forms.
Narrative deep-dive: The 1% Sunday · Weekly Operations Review protocol (essay).
Phase I
Retrospective audit · look back
Question: Where did I leak my time and energy last week?
Identify what caused you to lose the week—meetings, context switches, other people’s priorities.
0 characters
Mark tasks for automation, delegation, or deletion so the same leaks don’t recycle.
0 characters
Phase II
Capacity matrix · look forward
Question: Is my bucket built for impact or just full of noise?
Apply the Capacity Matrix on site: anchor deep-work blocks and hold roughly 20% buffer for unforeseen friction. If the bucket is cracked, remove a low-impact item now—not after Monday ambushes you.

Phase III
Relationship sync · the core
Question: Is the ledger balanced?
Fifteen-minute check-in with your partner or inner circle—alignment on goals for the week; unexpressed issues; close loops before they become legacy debt.
Alignment on weekly goals; tensions surfaced respectfully.

Decisive advantage
Sunday head start
When you finish the WOR, you do not start Monday on Monday morning—you start the night before: clothes selected, high-impact moves scheduled, plans for negotiations or complex meetings set.

Audit question
Calendar stress-test
If you looked at the next seven days right now: what is the one task scheduled to steal ~two hours? What adjustments could you make—and what would happen if you deleted it in the next sixty seconds?
