Tired of rewriting the same week?
In Week Plan unfinished tasks roll over on their own, repeating tasks come back every week, and your priorities stay in front of you on every device.
A Manager’s Week Is Not a To-Do List
Individual contributors can plan a week as a list of tasks. A manager’s week is mostly other people: one-to-ones, meetings, decisions someone is waiting for, and work you have handed off and need to check on. A plain task list hides all of that, which is how a week ends up spent entirely on whatever arrived last.
This template gives each working day five rows. Outcome is the single result that day is for. 1:1s and Meetings hold the conversations already on the calendar. Focus is the block you protect for thinking work — strategy, a difficult document, a hiring decision. Follow-up is what you owe someone by the end of the day.
Above the days are three lines for what the team has to achieve this week, and below them a box for what you have delegated and are waiting on — the list that most often lives only in a manager’s head.
- Monday to Friday, five labelled rows per day
- Team outcomes for the week at the top
- One protected focus block every day
- A delegated / waiting-on list at the bottom
How to Run Your Week With It
Fill it in on Friday afternoon or Monday morning. Write the team outcomes first, then one outcome per day that moves them forward. Copy your 1:1s and standing meetings across from your calendar, and only then decide where the focus block goes — if there is no room for it, that is the signal to decline or shorten something.
Print the page and keep it on the desk: a plan you can see during a busy day is much harder to abandon than one buried in a tab. On Friday, look at the Follow-up row and the waiting-on box before you close the week, and carry over only what still matters.
When a paper sheet is no longer enough — recurring 1:1 prep, shared goals, tasks that roll over on their own — see the Week Plan planner for managers, or read our complete guide to weekly planning for managers.
