The Friday Terrain Check · 20-Min Reset

You don't have a rest problem. You have a closing problem.

Most leaders never actually end the week — they run out of road on Friday and drag every open loop into the weekend. Then two days off somehow don't feel like rest.

The Friday Terrain Check is the fix: a one-page ritual you run in under 20 minutes before you close your laptop. Three moves:

✓ Map what moved — capture the real wins, written as impact (this doubles as your visibility update)
✓ Mark Monday's trailhead — set your top three so Monday-you starts knowing exactly where to go
✓ Leave the field — a two-line handoff so the loose ends live on the page, not in your head all weekend

Print it once, run it every Friday. Same ritual, new terrain.

Field-tested leadership, no fluff.
