Press and speaking
Where this has been covered, and taught.
Six-week cycles started as something my own team was doing. Then it became a book, then a TEDx stage, then a lot of rooms full of people asking the same question: can you really do that?
On stage
- TEDxYouth@Wrigleyville Discover Your Incredible Future NowNot about cycles. About deciding who you want to be, and designing your future on purpose before the calendar decides for you.
- Talk Working in 6-Week CyclesThe method itself, presented end to end.

- Working in six-week cycles, start to finish
- Why forty hours was never forty hours of work
- Planning as a keystone habit, and why it should not be automated
- Giving people their time back without losing the output
