Build Something That Lasts

I want this to outlive me.

You become: A steward

Take something that currently depends on you and make it able to survive without you — documented, systemised, taught, and handed on.

01

Make it visible

  1. Understand45m

    List everything that would break if you vanished for a month

    Be brutal. Accounts only you can access, decisions only you make, relationships only you hold, knowledge nobody wrote down. This list is the honest measure of how much of it is actually yours rather than built.

    You’ll have:A written list of single points of failure.

  2. Create3h

    Document the three most critical ones

    Write them so a competent stranger could follow them — the decision rules, not just the steps. Documentation that captures what to do but never why fails the moment reality differs from the example.

    You’ll have:Three critical processes documented.

02

Take yourself out

  1. Create2h

    Turn one documented process into a system

    Add the trigger, the owner, the checklist, and the check that catches it when it goes wrong. A document tells someone how; a system makes it happen without anyone remembering to.

    You’ll have:One process running as a system.
