Weekly Planning Rhythms with Steve Perkins

Gut + Science

Ever feel like your team is always busy but not actually moving the needle? You’re not alone.

In this episode of The Roots Up Approach, Steve and Nikki unpack the secret to cutting through the chaos: the Weekly Planning Rhythm—a simple, game-changing system to set clear priorities, stay focused, and actually get things done.

Steve shares how this rhythm transformed his own business (and sanity), why Monday meetings are the worst, and how one leadership team went from total disorganization to seamless execution in just one week.

Key Takeaways:

• Clarity beats chaos. Most teams struggle because they don’t have a clear way to define and communicate priorities.
• One priority, not five. The word priority means one—choosing a single main focus each week creates real momentum.
• Planning should happen before Monday. Friday is an ideal time to set priorities, so Monday is spent executing, not figuring out what to do.
• The best teams have rhythms. Whether you call them rituals, routines, or ceremonies, consistent planning rhythms help teams move from reactive to intentional.
