The 90-Day Rock Planner

Plan a quarterly Rock in ten minutes. Stakeholders, milestones, pre-mortem, and the meetings to book before calendars fill.

Every quarter I watched the same thing happen. Somebody gets a Rock, gets excited, gets busy, and touches it for the first time on day 45. Then comes the cram. I lived it for years before I built a better habit, and the habit fits on one page. Five to ten minutes per Rock, in the first week of the quarter. That's the whole investment.

One page · PDFThe first page of the 90-Day Rock Planner, showing the Rock, stakeholders, milestones, meetings, and pre-mortem sections.

What's inside

One page, five sections. You name the Rock and what done actually looks like, then the stakeholders who need to consult, stay informed, and sign off. Three or four milestones, not twelve, so you know the week you slip. A quick pre-mortem where you write down what will go wrong before it does. And the meetings to book now, while the calendar is still open, ending with the sign-off line that earns the head nod.

I walk through exactly how I use this planner, and why it moves Rock completion from 50 percent to 90, in the Rock Mastery video.
