The Ship in 7 Days week
A launch week for builders: four hours of building every day from 09:00, two hours of design on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, launch preparation on Thursday, and the launch itself on Friday at 16:00, with the gym three mornings.

Why it works
- A fixed launch time makes the week finite. Friday at 16:00 is not negotiable.
- Design early in the week so building is not blocked on it later.
- Launch prep on Thursday: copy, screenshots, the post, the list of people to tell.
After the launch
Post the week on the Floor. A launch week with 30+ hours of building is worth showing.

Questions
Can you really ship a product in 7 days?
You can ship a first version of something small. The week works because the scope is cut to fit the week, not the other way round.
