Week Compass

Week Compass is your map for the next seven days. It is how Cadence helps people balance delivery with growth — roles at work and in life, Big Rocks before sand, and Renew so you do not run empty.

Suggested rhythm

  1. Week start — Confirm roles → check goals → fill Week Compass (Big Rocks + Renew) → Place Big Rocks on calendar.
  2. Each morning — Day Plan → Pull Big Rocks → rank A / B / C → work the A’s first.
  3. During the day — Use the Daily Tracker for light habits (for example a protected focus block, or move / walk). This is not a timesheet.

Roles

Roles are the hats you wear — work and life (for example Engineer, Parent, Health). Naming them makes balance visible when you plan the week.

Big Rocks

Big Rocks are the few things that must move this week. Place them before email and chat fill every hour. Place Big Rocks on calendar creates Focus blocks so that time is reserved on the mixed calendar.

Renew

Renew covers four areas so people stay effective:

  • Physical — move, sleep, energy
  • Social — connect with people who matter
  • Mental — deep focus and learning
  • Spiritual — reflect, gratitude, stay grounded

Use the text fields as intentions for the week, then save with Save Compass.

Day Plan · ABC-123

  • A — must finish today
  • B — important
  • C — optional

Tasks can be tagged for focused work, manage, or fill the tank. ABC ranks can also appear on the calendar day list so priorities stay visible next to meetings.

Goals

Quarterly-style goals outlive a single week. Use them as north stars when you check Week Compass at the start of the week.
