Common Questions
I don't have time to document everything.
You're not documenting everything. One process, one page, about fifteen minutes. Pick the thing only you do that happens every week — that one buys back the most time first. The rest can wait.
My work is too bespoke to write down.
The judgment is bespoke. The process around it usually isn't — intake, setup, scheduling, follow-up, invoicing run the same way every time. The worksheet separates the two, so the bespoke part stays with you and the rest can run without you.
I've tried to get organised before and nothing stuck.
Usually because it started as a forty-page manual nobody opened. This is one page, in your words, built around a single process you actually run. Small enough to finish, specific enough to hand to someone.
I'm not trying to sell or step back.
A process that only runs when you're in the room keeps you in the room. Writing it down once means the next hire runs it from day one instead of shadowing you for six months — whether or not you ever use the door it opens.
