What's Included in Each Program
A detailed look at each of the four sessions, the tools introduced, and what participants leave with after completing the program.
Mapping Your Real Week
The first session establishes the foundation for everything that follows. Before any system can be built, participants need an accurate picture of where their time currently goes — not an idealized version, but the actual distribution across a working week.
This session introduces the time audit methodology: a structured way of documenting activities, duration, and category across the working day. Participants complete this audit during the week between sessions one and two, bringing the data back for analysis.
What you do in this session:
- Learn the time audit methodology and how to apply it to your specific schedule
- Identify the main activity categories that make up your working week
- Receive the audit worksheet and instructions for the between-session documentation period
- Discuss common documentation pitfalls and how to avoid them
Identifying Where Time Disappears
Participants arrive with their completed time audit data. This session is an analysis session: working through the documented week to identify patterns, recurring time drains, and the specific activities that consume time without producing meaningful results.
The analysis focuses on three types of time consumers: structural (built into how the business operates), behavioral (habits and patterns in how the owner responds to situations), and contextual (specific to the Mexican small business environment — WhatsApp, bank runs, administrative requirements).
What you do in this session:
- Analyze your completed audit to identify the main time-consuming patterns
- Distinguish between time spent on activities that advance the business and those that don't
- Map the interruption patterns specific to your business and operating context
- Identify which time drains are structural and which are behavioral
Building Your Priority System
Using the insights from sessions one and two, participants construct a priority system adapted to their business type. This is the central deliverable of the program: a practical decision-making framework that helps distinguish between what genuinely needs attention now and what can wait, be delegated, or be declined.
The system is built to work in the actual operating conditions of the participant's business — not in ideal conditions. It accounts for the specific rhythm of their industry, the nature of their client relationships, and the particular demands of their staff and supplier interactions.
What you do in this session:
- Define the criteria that determine genuine priority in your business context
- Build a decision matrix adapted to your specific operation and business type
- Identify which recurring activities can be batched, delegated, or restructured
- Create simple decision rules for the most common daily situations you face
Practicing the Word "No"
The final session addresses the most practical challenge: applying the priority system in real situations. Having a framework is one thing; using it when a client calls with an "urgent" request, when a supplier needs an immediate answer, or when an employee brings a problem that demands attention right now — that requires practice.
This session works through real situations from participants' businesses. For each situation, the group (or facilitator, in individual format) applies the priority system and develops specific language for declining, deferring, or delegating requests that don't meet the priority threshold.
What you do in this session:
- Apply your priority system to actual situations from your recent working week
- Develop specific language for declining or deferring non-priority requests
- Practice distinguishing genuine urgency from habitual reactivity
- Leave with a complete, tested priority system and a set of practical scripts
What you have after four sessions.
The program is designed so that each participant leaves with tangible, usable tools — not just concepts to think about.
A documented time map
A clear picture of how your time is currently distributed, with the specific activities and patterns that consume time without generating meaningful results identified and labeled.
A working priority system
A decision framework built for your specific business type and operating context — tested against real situations during session four and ready to use from the day after the program ends.
Practical scripts for common situations
Specific language for the situations that most commonly derail the day — client requests that feel urgent but aren't, staff interruptions, and supplier demands that arrive outside of working priorities.
