What's inside

14 time-blocked sections, a weekly overview table, phase-specific adjustments, emergency protocols, and monthly milestones

Change this for your project

  • Replace mr1awrence/themaffclub with your own GitHub repository name
  • Replace [yourstore].myshopify.com with your actual Shopify store URL
  • Replace yourhandle in Twitter and LinkedIn URLs with your own handles
  • Replace @projectmaffclub with your own Instagram handle

Where it goes

Keep it in your repository where the agent or team that needs it will read it.

Worth borrowing

  • Rotating daily focus areas (Monday = video, Tuesday = math article, etc.) to avoid decision fatigue
  • Phase-specific percentage splits (70/20/10 dev/content/marketing during build) that shift over time
  • Minimum viable day checklist to ensure progress even when time is short
