Plan with proposal table Done

2 min

Choose one lens. Copy its row. Each move has a job.

My benefit lens, choose one:

M) Morning focus: fresh mornings help (easiest) E) Evening tiredness: fix tired nights (challenge)

Proposal table, what each move means: Problem tells what hurts now. Solution tells what we do. Benefit tells the gain with 83 vs 70. Risk names one cost with While. Ask tells approve plus June.

My letter plus my 5 lines (problem, solution, benefit, risk, ask):

Answer key

Both good. M is easiest. E uses the same numbers with a tiredness lens. Example M: M, late 70, keep short daily, 13 higher, room booking, approve June. Keep the same numbers in your draft.

Frames to copy: The problem is... I propose that... This will help... While... Could you please approve...

Answer key, models for Ending M and Ending E

M model, about 120 words: The problem is clear. Long 90 minute late sessions scored only 70, while short daily sessions scored 83 in our two week pilot with 60 staff. Tired evening staff learn less. I propose that we keep short 20 minute daily sessions for the next team. This will help staff learn more and stay fresh, with scores 13 points higher than late sessions. While morning rooms need booking, the gain is worth one short meeting. Could you please approve short daily sessions for June.

E model, about 120 words: The problem is tired late nights. Long late sessions scored 70 against 83 for short daily sessions in our two week pilot with 60 staff. I propose that we move late sessions to short morning slots. This will help fix tiredness, which is linked to lower scores, and may lift focus fast. While room changes need one meeting, the 13 point gap pays for it. Could you please approve morning short sessions for June.

Check with colours Done

3 min

Tick each box. Fix one thing.

Problem first, not solution. I propose that is present. Benefit has 83 vs 70. One While risk is present. Ask has approve plus June. Length: 100 to 130.

One fix I will make:

Answer key

Good check: problem yellow first, solution blue, benefit green, risk pink, ask orange. If risk is missing, add one While line. Fix only one error today, add it to your error list.

Reflect and next step Done

2 min

Short. Honest. Then finish.

I can now show benefit plus risk:

Yes, with my notes. Almost, I need more practice.

My one goal for Day 22:

Homework, 15 to 20 min: Polish the proposal or add one benefit line. OR rewrite one part with the correction. If tired, review your error list for 5 minutes. Work check: ask one person if they would say yes.

Answer key

Both answers are good. Honest is best. Keep your proposal for your portfolio. Day 22 uses benefits as CV results. Well done.

Well done

Proposal ready. Go get that yes.
