# Calendar Leverage Redesign

## What it does
Audits your actual week like an operator would — eliminate, automate, delegate, or batch every recurring commitment — then rebuilds your ideal week around leverage instead of busyness.

## When to use it
- Full calendar, flat results
- Every few months as commitments quietly accumulate
- Before taking on anything new (make room first)

## The skill
```
Here's my actual current week — calendar, responsibilities,
recurring tasks, including the informal ones:
[PASTE OR LIST, WITH ROUGH HOURS EACH]

What actually generates my income or growth: [BE SPECIFIC]

1. Sort every item: ELIMINATE (no real consequence if it stops) /
   AUTOMATE / DELEGATE / BATCH (keep, but grouped) / PROTECT (the
   few things that actually produce results).
2. For every ELIMINATE: what's the honest worst case if it just
   stops? I need to see how small the risk usually is.
3. Show the math: hours recovered per week from the full redesign.
4. Rebuild my ideal week: PROTECT items in my best-energy slots,
   batches placed sensibly, recovered hours explicitly assigned to
   the highest-leverage work (not silently absorbed).

Rules: challenge anything I've marked untouchable — "I've always
done it" is not a reason. But don't eliminate rest; recovery time
is a PROTECT item, not waste.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Track a real week first; remembered calendars lie
- Pairs with AI-First Operations Designer — this finds the hours, that fills the automation bucket
