Interestingly, for me, this is my Friday, and the last thing I do in the week.

My engineering team, and a substantial part of my solutions and sales teams, are based in Europe, while I'm in the US. This means that my meetings are heavily loaded in the morning, starting first thing in the day and going several hours; Monday, in particular, is busy from the time I start (8am) until roughly 11.

So I do my prioritization at the end of each day, and on Friday. By doing it on Friday, I get a chance to block out time the following week, or to cancel meetings I know I'm not prepared for or not really needed for. I can also prepare emails and slack messages, scheduling them to send on Monday as my team starts their week, letting them know what priorities I have for them.

But both approaches have one huge benefit: intentionality. You start each week with an intention, which allows you to measure how you did at the end, as well as how what you have done has fit into larger goals.

Love this — there's a few items I'll be including at the end of this week!
