CEO BRIEF | Half the Hours, Same Work: Your Week of 14 September 2026 (Mercury Opposite Saturn)

A breakthrough you haven't costed is just more work you've said yes to, and Monday is going to get called a breakthrough day. This week's Brief takes the one thing in your business that eats the most hours for what it pays, the client who takes twice what you priced her for or the report you write from scratch every month, and walks you through changing how it's done, one piece a day. The idea turns up on Monday, Tuesday is the day to settle nothing, and on Friday the bill arrives, so you know what the new way costs before you promise it to anyone. You'll finish with where to spend your hours, the one job that matters, and what stays off your desk, for the everyday work as well as the big job. Built from the actual sky, with every time below checked. This week's times, in UK time (BST). Check your own clock before timing anything to the hour.
