Creating your Peak Week with Steve Cardwell

The Dadversity Podcast

Show Notes

Steve Cardwell is creating the most productive dads on the planet with his Peak Week model. There are four key parts:

1. Daily Gold Standards

The absolute essential things in your life that happen every day.

Examples: sleep, gym, school drop offs, lunch etc.

2. High & Low Leverage Tasks

High leverage = the things that move you forward as a person in life, in business or as a parent.

Low leverage = the small things that need to be done to make sure they don't become a problem.

3. Task Log

Creating massive lists of jobs that can't be done applies huge mental pressure.

Storing them in a specific doc which can be tackled in line with the rest of your weekly tasks makes much more sense.

4. Play Time

Going for a beer with your mates to watch the football? Get it in the calendar. Communication can make or break relationships.

Building your Peak Week isn't just about saving 10 hours a week and having an organised calendar.

It's about progress for you and your family with the things that matter.
