## The steps

1. **Monday.** Strategic recovery and leading with intention, since it is a meeting heavy day.
2. **Tuesday to Thursday.** High-intensity performance blocks protected for deep work in peak energy windows.
3. **Friday.** Active recovery, with the calendar blocked from one o'clock onward.
4. **Monthly mesocycle.** Three weeks of progressive intensive work, then one week of integration, reflection and recovery.
