Who it’s for: the owner of a small, real business — a trade, a practice, a shop, a one-person consultancy — who takes their faith seriously and has quietly noticed the business is winning every negotiation with their family.

Most business planners help you work more hours. This one asks you fifteen minutes’ worth of honest questions, once a week, until something changes.

I ran a computer business for twenty years. I was good at the work and bad at the boundaries, and for a long stretch my family got whatever was left at the end of the day — which, most days, wasn’t much. What changed it wasn’t a system or an app or working harder. It was fifteen minutes on a Friday, asking myself the same handful of questions until the answers started to embarrass me into doing something about them.

That’s all this is. I’ve just made the questions easier to find.

The two pages nobody else sells

The Weekly Examen, and Coming Back

The Weekly Examen — five questions on your work week, borrowed from a practice five centuries old. What went right that you didn’t make happen? Where did the business take hours, patience or attention from the people at home, and where were you generous anyway? One small change for next week. Not five. One.

Coming Back — for the month you inevitably put this down. Three questions, no catching up, no guilt. Your lack of consistency isn’t a failure; it’s just the natural way that you work.

The prayer pages are optional and none of them are prerequisites. The business pages work perfectly well on their own.

Before you buy

How it works, honestly

Any device you already own. Any PDF reader, on a phone, a tablet or a laptop. No app to install, no account to make, no subscription.

To handwrite on it, open it in GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf or Samsung Notes and write with your stylus. Import it as a DOCUMENT, not as an image, or the tabs stop working.

To print it, print at Letter size with scaling off — the whole thing or just the pages you use, as many times as you like.

Who it’s not for: anyone looking for a funnel, a growth hack, or a scale-and-exit plan. If you want a planner that helps you work more hours, this is the wrong one.

The fine print: one purchase covers one person or one household, or one ministry or parish team. Please don’t share, resell or upload the file — this is a one-person shop, and buying your own copy is what keeps the next one getting made.

Free first

Not ready to buy? Take something anyway.

Both of these are free, and they stay free. It is the easiest way to find out whether the way I put things together actually helps you.

The 5-Day Family Organization Challenge

One small step each morning for five days — your landing spot, one calendar for the whole family, the week’s meals decided once, a fifteen-minute reset, and room made for prayer. Every step has a five-minute version for the days that get away from you.

How to Write a Catholic Prayer

A short guide built on the five forms of prayer the Catechism names — blessing, petition, intercession, thanksgiving and praise — for the times you want to pray and don’t know where to start. Yours to keep, print, or hand to someone else.

No credit card. No upsell wall. One click unsubscribes you and we’re still friends.

Twenty years running a business. Thirty leading retreats. I was good at the work and bad at the boundaries — this is the fifteen minutes on a Friday that finally made the two fit together.
